About the Author
Born in Vancouver in 1933, Don Benson was a logger and sports reporter before joining a B.C. Telephone Company line gang in 1955, in an era when poles were erected using muscle power, and bare wire was still being strung down country back roads. Don Benson is an award-winning journalist and Poet Laureate for the City of New Westminster.
