Welcome to Volume 2 of a personal memoir by Michael J. Walsh, which takes the reader from his early years in London, England after WWII to his departure in 1956 for a new life in Canada as a young teenager. Roughin' in in Kanata, eh! is the down to earth story of a life lived in two countries and the challenges that all outsiders experience. It is an honest description of the "new boy" in town trying desperately to be accepted in Windsor and London, Ontario. Readers will follow his teenage journey first at an all-boys school where the mantra, "Teach Me Goodness Discipline & Knowledge" frequently becomes a lesson at the end of a strap. It is the truthful, down to earth story of an English schoolboy, who learns that roughing it is its own reward when the outsider lives in the present but never forgets the people, places, and experiences that brought him here in 1956.
