BoBo used to work as a hardrock miner, then as a mining instructor for the Yukon government. An article that appeared in this book is reprinted below.

    Heroes of Darkness was self-published in 1996 by Ed Andre. It is available widely in the Yukon, or directly from Ed ($11.95 Canadian + $2 shipping) at P.O. Box 5596, Whitehorse, YT Y1A 5H4

    Bobo was employed by the Yukon government as a mining teacher for seven full years. During this time, he trained 252 men to become hardrock miners. "My first class was the most interesting," exclaims Bobo. "They were all correctional institute inmates." Over half of his students have become experienced miners and are employed throughout Canada. This is a great accomplishment.

    Bobo was a very capable miner. For 26 years he worked in Quebec, Ontario and Yukon. Shaft sinking was his specialty. He also drove raises and drifts. His last job was breasting in a shrinkage stope. And now, in his older age, he bakes bread. Bobo laughs and states that, "from breasts to bread, it doesn't matter because I'm still in the dough."

    Bobo and his wife, Gail, own and operate a bakery just outside Carcross, Yukon. They named it the Cinnamon Cache Bakery. He is very well-known throughout the north and gives the Yukon colour, character and, now, bread and pastries.
