My Hippy Dad Got Busted For Pot And Fled To Canada

Missing Fathers & Unjust Laws

My parents divorced when I was 2. Shortly after the split, my late father, Milton Kessler, grew out his hair and let his hippy flag fly. Then in 1969, he was busted for marijuana possession. This was Texas and back in the day possession meant a minimum of 5 years of hard time in prison. So my dad jumped bail and fled to Canada where he lived for the next 12 years building a successful Bagel Bakery business.
