It's here!
The long awaited memoirs of Al Gerwing are complete.
The book is titled- "No Ordinary Man- The Memoirs of Alphonse Gerwing". This is the book that Connie Gerwing has been working on for over 10 years.
Commentary from Jan Schmitz: The Memoirs are Al's own words, with editorial content from Connie Gerwing to add some context. Al was a great writer. His style makes you feel like you were sitting and having a chat (and a laugh) with him. Born in 1923, Al talks about what it was like growing up on the prairies and then becoming a teacher in those days. Then he fell in love with the Brazilian street people, and dedicated the rest of his life to improving their situation. A truly extraordinary man. A story well worth reading.
All of the money from this book will go to the Alphonse Gerwing Foundation to fund the projects to continue Al's work. You can purchase a copy through a Robinson McNally store or on their website: Robinson McNally Books.com
You can also contact Ted Gerwing by email: tedgerwing@sasktel.net; Connie Gerwing at cgerwing@sasktel.net; or Steve Buttinger at sbuttinger@sasktel.net
It will make a great Christmas gift.
