William Austin Peters came into this world at Kingston, Ontario, Canada, April 3, 1900. And it might be said he was almost 'born on the wing, ' for at an early age and because of his deep-rooted love of nature, he embarked on a business career that took him over much of the North American continent...following bird. Moving southward during the months of fall, he would winter with his feathered friends along the intriguing shores of the Gulf Coasts, swing round the Florida Keyes, then north in the spring to his homeland maritime provinces. For several years, Mr. Peters has lived along the waterway of Canada's beautiful St. Lawrence with all the time in the world to indulge in things that satisfy him most...game bird breeding, hunting and fishing. His has long advocated good management of our natural resources. Under his able direction as president of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, and many other clubs and societies, major reforms have been proposed and adopted.
