How $74 Became a Million - an Autobiography

As far back as can be traced (350 years+) my family lived and worked within walking distance of Asten, Nord Brabant, Netherlands. We survived through riches, poverty, plagues and world wars but in 1950 my entire family left everything behind and immigrated to Canada. 350 years of not travelling much more than a few kilometers in any direction followed by one massive trip of over 6000 km. This story is about my humble beginnings, my family, my life and the adventures that happened along the way. Starting with next to nothing and becoming successful in Canada, the land of opportunity.
