Zine Review: The Boxwooder #516
The Great ReginaBlizzard
by Phil Ambrosi
The Boxwooder #516
I
enjoy learning about history from people who’ve lived through it. Phil
Ambrosi relates this experiences as a child in 1947 when a strong,
days-long winter storm closed the city of ReginaSaskatchewan, in the
days before highways, cutting the city off from food and medical
supplies because the trains could not run. This is an intriguing
firsthand narrative about real wind chill and zero visibility, about
stringing ropes from barns to houses in order to make it back and forth
safely in the wind driven whiteout.
The
Boxwooder is published by Jake Warner and is available to members of the
National Amateur Press Association. This is an extremely long-running
journal, always beautifully printed with fascinating subject matter. You
can write to Jake & send him a few bucks for back issues at The
Boxwood Press 116 Rosewood Drive Greenbelt MD 20770.
