MY AUNTIE Tib, a librarian, introduced me to reading at a very early age. How fortunate I am to have had her as a major influence.

BATTLE HARBOUR, a restored village on an island off the southeast coast of Labrador, was home to a major cod and seal fishery operation, and a thriving base for commercial trade. Beginning in the 1770s, Newfoundland fishing schooners considered the coastal community their primary port of call.

The Newfoundland Ranger Force had a detachment, and the Canadian Marconi Company built two wireless towers there. The community’s development was unparalleled along the Labrador coast.
