Edward Michalak
Born in Paris on 12 October 1924. Edward's family emigrated to France after the First World War. His father set up a bakery in Paris. In 1937, Edward was sent to Poland to continue his schooling. While he was in France for his school holidays, war was declared. He entered the Villard-de-Lans high school in 1940 and passed his baccalaureate in 1943. He became a liaison agent between England and France and carried out some particularly dangerous missions. In 1949, he left for Canada where he worked as a baker. When his father fell ill, he returned to Paris, married Krystyna Kubiak, moved back to Canada and gave up baking to work as sales representative. Edward died in 2004.
