JOE: A Collection of Writings By Joe McClelland, Reporter, Columnist

Book in excellent condition; dust shows shelf wear, chipping.

McClelland was 50 when he was killed with nine others when their aircraft crashed into powerlines in foggy Abitibi Canyon in Northern Ontario. McClelland had been covering hearings in northern aboriginal settlements as part of an Ontario Royal Commission on hydro-electric planning. In 1981, McClelland's colleagues at The London Free Press published this book, a collection of his columns. In the introduction, another colleague and columnist, the late Del Bell, captured the personality of McClelland, which was quite at odds with that of the extroverted Bell. 'He was a man who looked at the passing parade with an unflappable calm, commenting on it with a dry, self-deprecating humour that never left a scar,' Bell wrote.
