A Saskatoon museum says it will allow a Toronto man to do D-N-A tests on its artifacts in an effort to prove that his father was former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker.
An overjoyed George Dryden tells The Canadian Press that he is now trying to arrange a trip to the Diefenbaker Canada Centre to do the testing.
The centre had previously said it had no suitable artifacts.
It now says Dryden can hire a D-N-A company to come out and check for themselves.
The 42-year-old Dryden suspects his mother had an affair with Diefenbaker — something long whispered in his family.
In June, he discovered the man he always thought was his father was in fact not a biogical relative.
Diefenbaker was born in Southern Grey County in Neustadt, and the family moved out west when he was a young boy.
