Book Description
Gary McPherson contracted life-threatening polio during the epidemic of 1955 which left him a quadriplegic. He retains just enough coarse movement in his left hand to click a mouse and enough strength in his left leg to push his wheelchair backwards a few feet. Gary cannot feed himself or comb his hair. Yet his achievements are amazing. He is a husband and father, has coached championship sporting teams, is past-chairman of the Premier's Council for the Status of People with Disabilities, and is currently both a lecturer in the School of Business at the University of Alberta and executive-director of the Canadian Centre for Social Entrepreneurship. Foreword by Dr. Robert D. Steadward and Garry D. Wheeler.

Book Description
For those of us who are afraid we don't have what it takes to face our fears on our own, this story reminds us we have the skills and power to do so no matter how big and scary the problem, or monster, is. Most people think martial arts are for self-defense. While this is true, the art of Jiu-Jitsu also teaches us to have respect for ourselves and others. With this mutual respect, we can, through our actions, learn from one another. In this story, a child remembers how to use Jiu-Jitsu she knows to face her bedtime fear of monsters being under the bed. In so doing she remembers the real reason she learned this martial art, gains new friends through earning their respect, and teaches them the right way to go to sleep.

From funny things that happened to dangerous life threatening situations, the short stories contained in these pages center around real life interactions with key players that were a part of Paul’s life.

Yet throughout his life, there is an abiding sense of happiness. Life has been good to Paul, and it shows up in “spades.” You will enjoy his sense of humor yet feel the depth of the challenges that faced him, which could be and often were just around the next corner.

Book Description
Family didnt seem to be important when I was a child. It was something we took for granted. When children played, there would be two parents watching, throwing a ball around, joking or sitting around the picnic table. Well, when I was a little child toddling around, what I remember most is my time with my family in Florida: my Mom, my Dad, my sister Chris and my brother Mike. Family to me, at that time, meant having both parents around. I believe one of our favorite places to go was Clearwater, Florida. My aunt Fran and Uncle Al lived on an outlet of Clearwater Bay, a few blocks away from the Gulf of Mexico. My dad would often take us fishing off my uncles dock. Uncle Al had a boat that we would ride around in as well, and he would let us drive it, but under adult supervision of course! Mom and Aunt Fran would stay back and either clean the fish which we caught (a dirty job nobody wanted) or just watch us having fun. Mom always liked being outdoors near the water. Along with boating and fishing, we loved looking at the barnacles that attached to the walls around the bay area and around the posts holding up the dock. Mom seemed to be the one most fascinated with these small and disfigured little creatures. She and the rest of us seemed to enjoy watching these creatures just to pass the time of day.
