We've just returned from a mini-book tour of two towns in Alberta where T. Robert Ross, MDCM practiced medicine in the early years of the twentieth century. Coleman is now part of Blairmore AB, so that was our first stop.
We received a warm welcome from the Librarian, Diane DeLauw, and her staff at the Crowsnest Pass Community library where the first Alberta book launch took place. It is a beautiful library and obviously a popular spot for both adults and young people. Diane had set up a table for a book draw so I donated a copy of Medical Man for that as well as donating a copy of Medical Man dedicated to the memory of my grandfather, to the Library collection.
The book launch was well attended and everyone had good questions and many stories to share, so it was fun.
I was pleased to be able to thank the people, especially the staff of the Crowsnest Pass Museum and Archives, who had assisted with my research four years ago when I revisited the places where my grandfather had practiced ...Coleman from 1910 t0 1919.
Next week, Drumheller.....another wonderful, warm, prairie welcome
