Adrienne Bruynings was born in Baarle-Nassau on the Holland Belgium border in 1924. When war broke out in Europe, the Bruynings family was living in Herentals in Belgium. In December of 1944, she met the young Canadian soldier Maurice Leduc whom she married on 27 December 1945. She moved to Canada with Maurice in 1956 and now lives in North Vancouver where they recently celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary.
Adrienne wrote Antione - Coureur de Bois (Septentrion, 2008) over a fifteen year period characterized by intensive research into the genealogy of the Leduc family and early Canadian history. Originally published in English in 1992, the book has now been translated into French. Mme. Leduc has also written articles for Reader’s Digest, The Beaver and in Le Viquet and Nouvelles Racines in France.
Adrienne is also Gaetanne's mom. She is one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I have ever met.
