Remembering Peter Gzowski: A Book of Tributes |
| When Peter Gzowski died in January 2002, millions of Canadians felt
a sense of bereavement. The magical intimacy of radio had meant that for them
Peter Gzowski was a friend, one they would miss. So they poured out their
feelings with rare eloquence, in newspapers, magazines and on CBC Radio.
This book collects the best of these tributes. Contributors include some of the most thoughtful and articulate people in the country: writers like Alice Munro and Jane Urquhart; fellow journalists like Robert Fulford; broadcasters like Michael Enright; and commentators like Stuart Maclean and Rex Murphy. |
 |
| Yet matching the contributions by the great and famous, the people who knew Peter Gzowski well, are the memories sent in by ordinary Canadians – from their tractors or fishing boats or their kitchens or offices – who felt that they knew him, and whose lives he had touched. By letter, by e-mail and in phone calls they sent in their memories, touching, affectionate, varied, often surprising and in summary forming a delightful tribute. |
