Information request! The late Tim Cook wrote of Hong Kong '41 in "The Necessary War," discussing a "Bud Dicks," but I can't find any additional information. The Hong Kong Veterans Commemorative Association has a bio on a "Charles Dicks," but it's not clear if it's the same person. Help, please?
I've just received permission to share this photo of my interview with retired Canadian general, senator, and all-round inspiration, Roméo Dallaire. It was an honour to e-meet him and discuss his most recent book, "The Peace."
