During my journalistic career in the second half of the 20th century, plenty of good jobs of all kinds were available in all parts of Canada. Those of us born in the 1930s and early '40s were in great demand because our generation was very small when the post-World War II boom began. I earned generous fees working mainly freelance at home or in the offices of clients. GLIMPSES... is the story of all the stories my work involved: the who, what, when, where, why, and how of people I met, our society's attitudes, my networks, lessons learned, mistakes made, many good times and some bad ones. I hope to reveal the 'good feeling' of the years in Canada from the 1950s until about 2000, to provide perspective on why they were the way they were, and perhaps on how they led to now. Note that chapters become shorter as the tale grows longer.
