Description
by Dennis Gordon McConnell (Author)
1941. Born on a Peace River farm, destined for the boardroom.
From the muddy fields of Alberta to the frozen tundra of Inuvik, Dennis McConnell's life mirrors the growth of modern Canada. Called to banking after high school, Dennis trades the plough for the ledger, navigating the evolving financial landscape from the post-war boom to the digital age.
