Russell, president, Society of Exploration Geophysicists (and a Saskatchewan doodlebugger)          "It is a rare experience when a book can take one back 50 years so vividly ... the conversational style and the great collection of photographs just about put one at the kitchen table with the tea kettle on the boil."     Peter J. Savage, geophysicist and patron of the arts        "More than just an excellent, detailed, historical account of postwar Saskatchewan, Doodlebugging is about life under the most trying of conditions and serves to illustrate how far we have really come. Thank you, Betty Sawatzky, for revealing the secrets behind doodlebugging."     Larry Schneider, president, Prairie Implement Manufacturers Association former mayor, City of Regina             Home
