About the Author

Ron McGregor was born and raised on a farm two miles west of Gull Lake in Saskatchewan, Canada. Growing up dirt-poor and finding solace in alcohol to dim the effects of a bipolar condition, Ron's ambition to never be poor and never give an inch led him down an up and down path to eventually lose all that he worked for—wife, family, friends, home and business traded for a life alone with only memories to comfort. Athletic, musically inclined, personable, loves writing stories especially about the oil patch. Many of these stories were published in the weekly newspapers in the towns of Gull Lake, Sask and Consort, Alberta in a column he called “Pipeline”. Father of three children, grandfather of seven, and husband to Sharon, Ron now resides in Paradise Valley, Alberta.
