Winston Churchill Parker
grew up on a southern Alberta farm during the
horse and buggy days. When World War II was
declared, he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air
Force. On his 13th mission, his aircraft was
shot down over Germany and he was captured.
After three long, miserable years as a
prisoner-of-war, his captors turned him and his
comrades out on a horrific ‘death march’ in
which many men died.
Winston just barely
survived to return to Alberta, determined to own
a ranch of his own. He settled into a productive
life defined by hard work, steeped in community
service, enriched by close friendships and
brightened by the beauty of nature.
Saddles and Services is the
remarkable story of this 93-year-old rancher,
patriot and community leader.
"Winston Parker is no 'ordinary fellow,' but a
true hero
who has made extraordinary contributions to his
community and his country!"
