Joe is also the author of the well-known "It All Started with Prince Rupert" - a popular history of Czechs and Slovaks in Canada now approaching its 2nd edition. Not too long ago I met with Joe in Toronto to discuss his book and we also talked about his own past: he recalled the rise of communism in his homeland and what it was like coming to Canada himself.
