This companion volume to Born in Huronia summarizes the past twenty years of Popple's life in BC. It includes eight first-hand stories by people he has met in that time.

From Popple's description of the first Europeans arriving in the Pacific Northwest to avoiding insanity in retirement to his travel adventures, his summation of the Trump presidency, and the details of his Mother-of-all organ recitals, this book is a Must-Read.
