"I can't imagine a walk through Windsor's history with anyone else...A colourful time in Windsor's history, told by one of our best storytellers."&#8212Sandra Pupatello, M.P.P. Windsor West "Prohibition certainly was a colourful era, filled with characters and stories the likes of which we may never see again. If not for Marty Gervais's research into the phenomenon that was Prohibition, many of these stories would have faded with the memories of their leading players."&#8212Laryssa Landsale, Walkerville Times Magazine
