Just Ian

About the Book

The premises of this book and the reasons behind it are complicated and at the same time simple. The book was written with one over-riding thread, so it was decided to exploit this phenomenon, therefore each chapter began new and yet the same...

"My friends who know me well have become accustomed to strange things happening to me. However, there are some occasions which are so unusual that they leave even them shaking their heads in disbelief and wondering how does he get himself into such predicaments?"

This book was published with the support and insistence of my family and friends, as a collection of these weird and wonderful, if somewhat outlandish events, so others may share in what is "Just Ian".

About the Author

While the author was born in the 1950's he has done more in his lifetime than many men twice his age. His list of experiences is vast and varied. He is the quintessential Renaissance man. In spite of his struggles with math and spelling, due to being dyslexic, he has attended four different universities and colleges in several different fields. He can and does cover his walls with awards and certificates from his work as a mechanic, tailor, pastry chef, welder, soldier and marksman.

He is a published poet, journalist and author. After being injured in the line of duty, while serving with the Canadian Military (res) while out of the country, he has returned to his studies. Ian is now taking journalism, anthropology and comparative religion classes at Malaspina University College in Nanaimo, British Columbia.

While Ian is well known for his hundreds of hours volunteering with the R.C.M.P, community centers, student athletes and disabled children he is best known for his steadfast religious convictions. In short he is "Just Ian".
