Autorenporträt
Kent Smerdon has always enjoyed a good story-as much in the hearing as in the telling. His thirty-seven year career in aviation along with offerings from his father, a WWII veteran pilot and his own fellow pilots provided fertile ground for all manner of high-flying yarns. Encouraged by colleagues, friends and family, he decided retirement offered the perfect opportunity to share them. Kent is happily preoccupied by a new life filled with the duties of a grandparent and other distractions in the home he shares with his wife, Liz, in Barrie, ON.
