Lucius Minicius Rides Again
Barcelona, September 1992. The Olympic Games are over, summers coming to an end and thirteen-year-old Gdrun is not too enthusiastic about going back to school and routine. But when her long-lost German father turns up out of the blue and the Paralympic Games get underway, Gdruns mundane life suddenly takes an unexpected turn. On a twelve-day emotional rollercoaster she discovers not only some hidden truths about herself and her parents, but also the vibrant, awe-inspiring world of the Paralympics and learns that just about anything is possible. Because, how would you ever imagine that a man with no arms could play table tennis? Young adult realist novel about personal growth, acceptance and human relationships.
Portrait of a Public Servant
This book is the personal memoir of G.A. (Gerry) Thompson. It traces his early life and outlines his career in civil engineering, urban planning and public administration, through various and progressively more responsible positions with the Ontario Government and the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, where as Chief Administrative Officer, he was awarded the Ontario Lt. Governor's Medal of Distinction for Excellence in Public Administration. The book also describes assignments in Kenya and the Middle East. Gerry's substantial ongoing involvement in Academia and a record of making things happen, culminated in his appointment as an Associate Vice President of the University of Waterloo. Gerry has been sought out as a speaker, commentator and board member. Gerry's extensive community involvement, together with life and career experiences, have prompted reflections on Canada, faith and life's lessons.
