Catherine,
This 'book cover' is an inside joke. I publish a series of books on artillery and vehicles "..in Canadian Service". Following one of our evenings at Gracie's*, where the tradition was to have a photo taken with our lovely server, I made up a mock cover with your dad sitting next to a pretty young thing.
I always enjoyed these outings and took a bus from work to get there. Your dad was teetotal and always insisted on driving me home - even though I was in Nepean and this was a significant distance out of his way. Of course, this meant I could drink to my heart's (and bladder's) content.

* Ottawa Rotters - time for another night out where we can toast Alex.
