A Good Man's Life

A former Rainy River district man who fought in World War Two is the subject of a book.

A Good Man's Life chronicles the life of Jack MacDonald who left the family farm near Fort Frances to join Canada's war effort.

His son, Wayne Kehl, says the stories of war vets are important to tell.

"My kids, who are now in their 30's, know nothing of this," says Kehl. "I think most of the children of boomers have no real idea of what went on in the war. If you think about it, most boomers don't know much about it either."

MacDonald now lives in British Columbia.
