Don HathawayOriginally trained as a technician Don Hathaway became an engineer, a successful business executive and an entrepreneur. Akin to other polymaths he is an historian, an occasional mathematician, a painter, an amateur chef, a bibliophile, a writer and ecturer, a genealogist and an avid gardener. He has travelled extensively, living for extended periods in the west of England and in France. Along the way, he has cultivated an interest in writing, first for professional reasons then for his own pleasure. History is an abiding interest, as is the pleasures of imparting his family story to others.

Hathaway, who was born in the southwest corner of Manitoba and spent his teen years there, today lives in Stratford, Ontario, with his wife, Mary-Ann and four cats, surrounded by a large and gregarious family. From Dean to Dand is the first of a two-volume pair. The first is intended for curious historians with a taste for genealogy while the second is an intimate account of life on the Canadian prairies in the middle of the twentieth century.
