Summary:  "Calvin Woodrow Ruck (1925-2004), born in Sydney, Nova Scotia, to Bajan (Barbadian) immigrants, saw roadblocks not as barriers, but as hurdles that he would eventually leap over. From working in the steel plant and as a sleeping car porter to being awarded the Order of Canada and appointed to the Senate of Canada, Calvin worked diligently to ensure that his children, and his children’s children, wouldn’t have to go through the same things he went through. Although he was turned away from many opportunities, he was determined to provide for his family and took on a heavy workload in the Halifax community. His granddaughter, Lindsay R. Ruck, is the author of this biography. She was born in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and is a graduate of Carleton University's School of Journalism in Ottawa"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Biographies.
