“Jack Webster in
Vancouver, and Ron Pumphrey in St.
John’s, are broadcasters who are the
very bookends of this nation.”
Douglas
Fisher (1919–2009)
The Events Leading
Up To My Death is a beautifully authored story of
humour, pathos, injury, and of love unrequited and of love fulfilled. This book
is for the young, the middle-aged, the old. Ron Pumphrey, man of a thousand
lives, will keep you enthralled by this book’s citings of some of the very cream
of his quite adventurous life. Notably, he shares for the first time the story
of his meteoric rise to fame as a radio talk-show host in Newfoundland. Here you
will see a human being like ourselves who never, ever said “It can’t be done.”
Ron Pumphrey is a master
storyteller. No, this is definitely NOT fiction. It’s happily, pathetically,
juicily true.
