TESTIMONIALS

“As soon as Mum began telling Keith her life story, our Sunday phone conversations became reinvigorated. I thought I knew pretty much everything there is to know about my mother, but this process has revealed information I'd never been aware of and has given me new perspectives on several aspects of her life. The whole process has definitely brought the two of us even closer together.”

“I thought at first that I was far too busy living in the present to bother re-living the past. Now, reading my own story – to this point! – makes me appreciate what an interesting and blessed life I've had. I was a bit uncertain about getting started on this project, but Keith put me completely at ease. It soon got to the point where I looked forward to our interview sessions.”

“I could see that talking with Keith gave Doug a chance to reflect on how much living he packed into 85 years. Now that the project is complete, it's great to see how interesting our friends and family find his story. It's given us all a lot to talk about. We took some time deciding to have Keith write Doug's memoir, but it was definitely the right choice — well worth the time and cost.”

— Roxanna Mandryk, Denman Island

“For years my kids were after me to write down my life story. I had great intentions, but somehow it just never got done. Now that I see how much work Keith put into it, I understand why! My book has become a source of pride for me and for my family. It actually makes for a pretty darn good read. I'm extremely pleased with what Keith did – his work exceeded my expectations.”

— Capt. Monty Montgomery, Qualicum Beach, BC

“As a good friend of Doug's, I've heard and enjoyed many of his stories over the years. I knew that he had lived a pretty full life so I, along with others, encouraged him to put it on paper. Now, having read the memoir he did with Keith, I realize just how full it really was. It's a great read, and many of us are grateful to him for making the effort to do it.”
