About the Author
Roger Patillo lives in Aldergrove, B.C. in the heart of the Fraser Valley on an acreage where he and his wife Donnie have an active family and raise a few Arabian horses. (they have had fourteen children between them and presently have nine left at home - the youngest of which is seven years old.) Growing up on a farm near Windsor Ontario, he has a Bachelor's Degree in Economics, a Masters of Social Work and a Masters of Business Administration. He has climbed the corporate ladder on a number of occasions in both the public and private sectors, taught university level courses at the University of British Columbia and at Trinity Western University and has been a management consultant. For the past few years Roger has been an award-winning realtor specializing in fine country acreages, ranches and horse properties in the Fraser Valley and throughout B.C.
While Roger has written countless technical reports and research papers over the years this is his first attempt at writing a book. An avid outdoorsman, fly fisherman, mountaineer and horseman, he has recovered from a triple bypass operation in January of 1999. While recuperating he used his time to write his first book on his experiences and adventures while working at Lake Louise in the 1950s and 60s. He has two other books on the go at the present time and has plans for more.
