Conrad Black – Another Testimonial

A reader from Canada shares a story about turning to Conrad Black in a time of need.

This arrived from a reader in Canada. Edited to protect the writer's privacy.

I met Conrad Black once, in 1974, when I was seeking an opportunity in journalism. He was kind and gracious, and offered a job, but I ended by taking a different path.

Thirty years later, 2006, I was enmeshed in a legal case. I desperately needed money to appeal my case to a higher court. Out of the blue I wrote to Black for a loan to help. He remembered me - and gave me the money as a gift.

I am hoping that everything positive possible about Conrad makes its' way into the press. He was shafted and every shaft of light, however faint, must fall onto his reputation.

A grateful person from Canada.
