Book Description
YESTERDAY'S MOMENTS...TODAY'S MEMORIES is the third in David Turner's nostalgic trilogy depicting rural and small-town life in Canada during the last century. "From as far back as I could recall," Turner says, "I'd been listening to the stories passed down through generations of my family. As the years went by, an unrelenting passion dictated I record these recollections and the lives of those who lived here. To flourish both intellectually and emotionally, we need to know who we are and where we've been. "One of the most enjoyable aspects of writing is the ability to convey those thoughts to others. Whenever a story is repeated, it rekindles the attribute of something otherwise forgotten. Friends and loved ones pass on, and with the years, our memories fade-but through their stories, the legacy of those who came before can live forever." The counties of Grey, York, Peel, Simcoe, and Perth have been home to the Turner family for many decades. In 2014, David and his wife Mary retired to Huron County.
