Coles An Immigrant's Story: Memories Of A Dutch Canadian at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

Most autobiographies contain a series of lifetime memories of interest to family members and close friends. Soon after publication, the book becomes a dust collecting legacy seldom referred to other than by a casual visitor to the home library. In An Immigrant's Story: Memoirs of a Dutch Canadian, Matthew Gaasenbeek III takes us from the Second World war Nazi occupation of Holland to his emigration and life in Canada. He shares the influences of those years in shaping the person he is today. His career as a financial entrepreneur has contributed to the growth and development of many well-known Canadian corporations. He also travelled in a very senior capacity to many countries on behalf of the Canadian government. Matthew Gassenbeek is a prodigious reader and student of the effects of history, politics, culture, and even religion on the growth of Canada and its role in International affairs. In countless ways, as a business man, a financial entrepreneur, a volunteer, an environmentalist and as a concerned citizen, Matthew Gaasenbeek III has contributed greatly to his adopted country and to humanity. This is his story.
