Colborne Legion presents Cold Comfort Author

This Sunday in Colborne, Ontario, from 2 to 4 p.m., author Gil McElroy will present a military brat’s perspective on growing up in one of the most disturbing times in recent history.

This event is part of the Colborne Legion Branch 187 Author’s Evening series.

McElroy will be reading from his latest book, Cold Comfort: Growing Up Cold War, published this past May by Talonbooks. It sets out his memoirs of growing up in a family whose father’s military career was integral to the building of Canada’s electronic defence system, including the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line.
