Riverview Stop of Library Tour of Don Messer:The Man behind the Music


Author Johanna Bertin enjoys writing about Canadians, and in particular, those who have not received the credit & recognition they deserve. She visited the Riverview Public Library on a snowy afternoon where she read from her latest book (this is her sixth) Don Messer: The Man Behind the Music & she also graciously signed those being purchased. Some interesting facts came to light about Don Messer – did you know, for instance, he was only 5’6” & that he got his business smarts from working his way up with Woolworth’s? Ivan & Vivian Hicks provided an enjoyable musical prelude that launched the beginning of a very interesting afternoon.
