MacGregor’s success is more than ‘luck’

Roy MacGregor was a small-town kid from Ontario's backwoods who made it big in Canada's media world. In Paper Trails, he tells the story about his own colourful life with the same detail and high-calibre soul that he gave to his 50 years in the newspaper business. His engaging and entertaining book is worth reading.
