I was born in 1940, a bindle across my back, in Magog, a small Quebec town. I laid my bindle down in beautiful Victoria BC in 2023. My story is sometimes sad, sometimes funny, but never dull. I hope you will enjoy reading it. I came back from school at 9 years old to find our modest belongings by the side of the road. The bailiff had changed the padlock, so I sat there alone and humiliated for a while, waiting for my mother to come home. It was the moment in my life that made me who I am: a nomad.
