Prairie Pilot: Lady Luck Was on My Side
The Stories of Walter D. Williams
Compiled and Edited by Deana J. Driver
This fascinating book contains 100 short stories written by the late Walter Williams, a ‘character’ and former resident of Kerrobert, SK. who owned an International Harvester dealership and loved to fly his small airplane to help people in need. He landed in farmers' fields in snow storms and fog, picking up pregnant women or injured children and transporting them to the nearest hospital. He also flew doctors, RCMP officers, corpses, criminals, books and friends to many communities in west central Saskatchewan and east central Alberta. Prairie Pilot: Lady Luck was on My Side chronicles some of Walter Williams’ more hair-raising, humourous and helpful experiences from 1946 to 1963 when he was in the air.
In honour of Walter Williams, a donation of $1,900 from Prairie Pilot books sold has been made to KLD Wellness Foundation in west central Saskatchewan
