With strength and determination, he forges ahead and is sent, along with countless other British Home Children, to Canada to begin a new life.

Centennial celebration of historic Canadian accounting / management consulting firm [now Ernst & Young] " In planning this book two basic decisions were made. First, it should not be a history of a firm in the sense of being an analysis and interpretation of the interplay of the economic and social forces and of the personalities which, taken together, account for the transformation of the small local firm of 1864 into the large national firm of today. Secondly, it should not deal with the contributions which present partners, managers and and staff have made and are making to the firm's development.". 148p. illus.
