Didmon, Tom

The author, Tom Didmon, was born in 1916 at Plumas, Manitoba. He moved with his family to Winnipeg in 1929 and completed his education there. Tom was fortunate in obtaining a job during the Depression at a Winnipeg meat-packing company. He left for Toronto in 1938 after successfully completing an Accounting Course and began working at Canada Pakers Ltd., another meat-packing company, until he joined the Canadian Army in 1942.

After the war, he went back to Canada Packers until his early retirement in 1974, when he moved to Vancouver Island, where he and Mrs. Didmon currently reside.
