| Dr. Ed MacDonald |
Dr. Edward MacDonald grew up during "the Break", the
period of rapid modernization on Prince Edward Island
after the Second World War. In the year of his birth, his
home community of Newport, in coastal King's County,
received electricity, and his family bought their first
television. He began his formal education in a one-room
school, and completed it at Queen's University in
Kingston, Ontario, where he earned a Ph.D. in history. In
between, he experienced school consolidation, a
"regional" high school, and the new "provincial
university," University of Prince Edward Island.
