- History / Biographical
- Don Snipper was born December 4, 1915, the son of Louise (Shapira) and Alfred Snipper. He was president of A.Z.A. at one time. He trained in St. Hubert and went overseas to Bournmouth in April of 1944. Even though he didn't like heights, he disliked water even more, so he chose the air force over the navy. He worked in photo reconnaissance during the war, but afterwards he did not fly or continue in photography. Instead, he studied law and eventually practised in Ottawa under Sam Berger. He died in 1999.
