Born: April 28, 1941. Port Hope, Ontario BiographyDavid Duchesne learned to read in Grade One but only read what he had to until he hit 40 when he began, in earnest, to read for enjoyment. At this same time he began writing things he like to read. He has written for magazines and has published one children's book, The Train That Came To Stay. In 1995 he was commissioned to write the English portion of the Town of Kapuskasing's 75th Anniversary Book. In mid-2000, David Duchesne was named editor of Le/The Weekender, a weekly dual language newspaper in Kapuskasing, Ontario. After 35 years as a teacher, Principal, Superintendent and Director of Education, David retired to pursue other activities in addition to his writing. Since retiring on January 1, 1996, he has continued to play in a community band, teach and coach curling to children and adults. He even managed to squeeze in two courses in first year law from Laurentian University. When he's not writing, curling, golfing or fishing he is busy helping to raise three active sons. Two adult daughters also bring him a great deal of joy.
