“I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given to participate in that work as a representative of my country, Canada, whose people have, I think, shown their devotion to peace.”

“True there has been more talk of peace since 1945 than, I should think, at any other time in history. At least we hear more and read more about it because man's words, for good or ill, can now so easily reach the millions.”

“As a civilian during the Second War, I was exposed to danger in circumstances which removed any distinction between the man in and the man out of uniform.”

“I spent my childhood in Newfoundland and then my junior high and high school years in Alberta, Canada.”

“People are so forthcoming with their opinions in America, and it's not the same in Canada. People are more reserved... They hold their cards closer, and they're very, very polite.”

“I certainly don't miss Italy, as I am happy in Canada and have no intention of returning.”
