 | | His father, Roy, the first Lord Thomson of Fleet, had died in 1976, and there are some who say that Kenneth, who revered his father, never fully reconciled himself to life in Britain after the death. |
 | | Thomson was born in Toronto - as was his father - the only son of Roy Thomson and his wife, Edna Alice Irvine. |
 | | Kenneth worked in virtually every department of the paper, as a reporter, advertising salesman and general manager, a process he repeated in a number of other Thomson newspapers in Ontario before moving into the Toronto head office in the '1950s, to take charge of the group's Canadian and American operations. |
