Richard Goldbloom

Richard Goldbloom: You might spot Dr. Goldbloom, 88, whose accomplishments include membership in the Order of Canada, at bookstores this week signing copies of his autobiography, according to The Chronicle Herald. Those who know Dr. Goldbloom, a charming and accomplished man who, with Mrs. Goldbloom, has played a central role in the cultural, community and educational life of Halifax, Nova Scotia and Canada, never fail to point out his great sense of humour and With a twinkle in his eye, a piano sonata at his fingertips and a lifetime of healing behind him, Halifaxs Dr. Richard Goldbloom celebrated a literary milestone this week with the publication of his memoir A Lucky Life. As a young pediatrician, he was lured away from the Montreal Childrens Hospital in 1967 to Halifaxs Izaak Walton Killam Hospital for Children, partly because of his late wife Ruths New Waterford roots.
