No Ordinary Man

By Gordon J Van De Water

No Ordinary Man... Gracefully and evocatively written by his son and plentifully illustrated, "A Story of the Life of William Russell Van De Water" spans much of the 20th century, from a hardscrabble neighborhood in Toronto to the suburbs of Southern California, encompassing major historic events (the Great Depression and World War II), but at its heart it is a son's expression of respect, friendship and love for a father whose "I'll do it my way" boldness and integrity characterized him as "no ordinary man." This gem of social and family history overflows with the stuff of life in all its difficulties, richness and humor. -William N. Rogers II, Professor Emeritus, San Diego State University
