In A CHOSEN PATH, we travel with Frank to Ottawa after his election to the House of Commons in 1972 and follow his six-term political career, which culminated in his appointment to Cabinet in 1985—first as Minister of State for Science and Technology, then four years later as Minister of Forestry. Now, more than a decade removed from that heady time and place, Frank Oberle combines reflection and the perspective of retirement to shed light on what is right and what is wrong in our political world.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Frank Oberle, Born in Forchheim, Germany. As a youth he had made his way across the battle-scarred landscape of Germany, the bombs of Dresden still ringing in his ears. As a teen he had crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a derelict freighter, finally reaching the refugee barracks at Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1951. He worked at many jobs, including logger, gold miner, rancher, and town mayor, before serving six consecutive terms as a member of Parliament, the first German-born Canadian to serve in cabinet.
