Description

In this humorous book, Ron Purvis illustrates why after 14 years of teaching at St. George's Indian Residential School in Lytton, BC, he had a lingering suspicion that his First Nations charges had crammed a great deal more wisdom into him than he'd imparted to them.

About the Author

Ron Purvis, born in 1922 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, joined St. George's Indian Residential School as a supervisor in 1945 after he'd been discharged from the Canadian Army. He was at the school for 14 years before "retiring" to a mountain valley near Lillooet, BC, where he became a fruit rancher, gem finder and gem cutter. At the same time, Ron was writing a regular column on BC gemstones for BC Outdoors magazine and rockhound and lapidary publications. He now lives in Parksville, BC.
