Below is the first essay I tried to publish, and I sent it to The New York Times. The gall, right? It helped that, at the time, the NY Times editor, who ripped my story off the wire, was the wonderful Gayden Wren. Look him up, such an amazing, talented man. He didn’t know me from the man in the moon, and he told me that this was the first time he took a piece off the wire, from an unknown, for syndication. He also said that he wanted it because it made him feel something…ahh. Never met him but will never forget him.. Thank you Mr. Wren! I don’t know how to make this emoji smaller, but that’s ok considering the feelings behind it!

WELCOME LETTER

Interview on ‘The Coast’ Radio Sydney, N.S., Summer ’25

Hi Everyone! Check out my recent radio interview above.

And check out AMAZING BRACE from 2008, MACLEANS magazine. Over the years, I’ve had a tremendous amount of response from readers around the world on this article. At the time I wrote the story, doctors in Canada, other than Quebec, and in most of the US were not prescribing braces for scoliosis because they believed bracing didn’t work. My article supported bracing. Now braces are used widely throughout North America. So, particularly if your child is diagnosed with scoliosis, please see that bracing is considered as an option. Contact me here if you would like to discuss..
