I was researching the potential to write a book on the life and times of Mr. Soplata. I have found that a source very close to the family has written a book, and has it to some publishers.

Hopefully this book will be out within the next year or so. I cannot discuss it too much, but I will try to get the publisher's name so we can encourage them to get this in print.

Oscardeuce--

That's tremendous, hope it works out. I'll certainly try to be the first Canuck to buy a copy of the resulting book. Keep us posted as you hear more!

Cheers

You might try a re-read Tom of Oscardeuce's post. Someone close to the
family is attempting to publish the book. Great news 'Deuce! Yes, please
find what you can so we can help persuade the publisher. Thanks!
