He emigrated to Canada in 1966 and worked for the next 10 years at Vancouver's morning newspaper The Province. "It's now a tabloid, but it was a broadsheet back then with a large editorial staff devoted to covering late breaking stories. It was all about coming out with the exclusive story and sparing few expenses to beat the competition," said Griffiths. "How times have changed!" He covered general news, politics, crime, and for two years was City Hall Reporter in Vancouver. He was married to former Province columnist Kathy Tait. He has edited several books for other authors and has now released two unique new travel books that will be the ideal gift for anyone who loves ocean cruising.
