The ''Globe and Mail'' on the other hand describes him as Fireweed Media's Executive Director.〔 In 2002 the Highlands Video Projects Committee listed Peuramaki's expertise when they drafted a proposal to promote tourism in Haliburton County through the production of natural history and tourism videos.〔 〕 Peuramaki's earliest work in the fields of publishing and media production on the public record was his work as an illustrator on a children's book, ''Bigfoot Betty'', in 1980.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don Peuramaki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
