Growing Up Canadian, Volume 2
1960-1980
by
Clyde Woolman
Read it for nostalgia, for memories of pop culture, for history, or for pure entertainment. Growing Up Canadian, Volume 2 will shed a spotlight on the astonishing degree to which Canada changed in a mere twenty years from 1960 to 1980. Rolling out in a series of fast-paced entries are TV shows and personalities, rock and pop music, fads and fashion, the stars of stage and screen, the high and low lights of sports, and much more. The reader will be guided along a compelling journey through the Canadiana of the recent past. The stereotypes about Canada and Canadians being dull, and history being boring, are decisively laid to rest through wit and humour.
"Pop culture, nostalgia, and history shine a spotlight on the youthful days of the boomer crowd. Plenty of smiles and chuckles for those who were there - and those who weren't." - Geoff Peters "Buckle up for an illuminating trip down memory lane. The fast-paced, humorous, and informative anecdotes left me wanting more." - Marina Mahabir "Woolman hits it out of the park. I found myself laughing out loud about events I'd forgotten, or never knew." - Maryanne Mackinnon
A fully fledged member of the boomers, the author was a history teacher before spending a lot of time as a principal. He spent six years pushing paper and attending meetings while a superintendent of schools, the CEO position in his district.
