" George Matheson of the Okanagan was, among many things, British Columbia's funniest publisher. Born in Bobbili, southern India in 1931, he died of a massive heart attack on February 24, 2009. After riotous years in Halifax and Toronto, he had come to Vancouver in 1980 and later moved to the Shuswap, Kelowna, Lumby, and Vernon. He listed his literary influences as Somerset Maugham, Ernie Haemorrhoid, Xavier Hollander, and Mohindas Karamachand Gandhi. He wrote and produced several television documentaries including Kettle and Caboose, 1995; Brookmere Revisited, 1997; and Steam Train Comin', 1998; and Snowplow through Rogers, 1999. Matheson first wrote and published Vader's Caboose, a railway book about the Kettle Valley Railway and its 40-year employee Frank Vader. The current book, a follow-up called "Cactus in your Shorts", describes the history of the Interior desert country. Not to be missed!"
