Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Our final speaker for the program year will be Kanata's Brigadier General (Ret'd) Joe Romanow, RCAF, who will speak on the topic "So You're Thinking of Writing Your Memoirs!". Joe is the author of three volumes of memoirs and, as he nears 88, is working on his fourth –– or is it four down and one to go? Either way, Joe has put a great deal of thought and work into chronicling a VERY eventful life and can help you to do the same.
