Brunswick Border: Cornell University

Cotterill Dept: At the border station near St. Stephen, N.B., a Canadian official hassled the young Marine officer but within minutes let him in as a permanent resident, with the papers of a job offer from a beef farm, according to The Star. The Canadian government and people welcomed us in those days, recalled Cotterill, 60, who now runs his own yard and garden equipment business in Truro, N.S and it was the dead of winter when a buddy from Cornell University drove war deserter Dick Cotterill through the Maine-New Brunswick border for a new life of freedom and peace in Canada. That was March 1972, on the eve of Cotterill s deployment to the Vietnam War. As reported in the news.
