He served in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1971 to 1993. Early lifeAdair played minor league baseball for the Peace River Stampeders in the North Peace Baseball League in the 1960s.[1] After baseball he was a well known radio broadcaster in Peace River until he ran for political office in 1971.[2] Political careerAdair first ran for the Alberta legislature in the 1971 general election. Running as a candidate for the Progressive Conservative Party, he defeated incumbent Social Credit MLA Robert Wiebe in the electoral district of Peace River.[3] He was appointed to the cabinet by Premier Peter Lougheed and served as the minister without portfolio responsible for native affairs. Adair was re-elected in the 1975 general election over three other candidates.[4] After the election, Lougheed appointed him Minister of Recreation, Parks and Wildlife. In the 1979 Alberta general election, Adair easily defeated three other candidates to win the second highest popular vote of his political career.[5] Adair reached the height of his popularity with a landslide win in the 1982 Alberta general election.[6] When Don Getty became Premier in 1985, Adair became the new Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs. After the 1986 general election he was transferred to the Ministry of Transportation and Utilities.[7] In the 1989 Alberta general election he took 66% of the popular vote, the highest of his career.[8] Adair was left out of the cabinet when Ralph Klein became Premier in 1992. He retired from provincial politics with the dissolution of the Assembly in 1993. Late lifeAfter retiring from politics, Adair co-authored a book with Frank J. Dolphin titled Boomer: My Life with Peter, Don and Ralph, which was published in 1994 by Polar Bear Publishing.[9] He died of a heart attack on December 24, 1996, at the age of 67.[10][11] The Al 'Boomer' Adair Rec Centre in Peace River, Alberta, is named in his honor.[12] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.attheplate.com/wcbl/1964_1g.htm |title=1964 Peace River Stampeders |publisher=Western Canada Baseball |accessdate=2008-05-19 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061108041603/http://www.attheplate.com/wcbl/1964_1g.htm |archivedate=November 8, 2006 }} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.discoverthepeacecountry.com/htmlpages/peaceriver.html|title=Peace River, Alberta|publisher=Discover The Peace Country.com|accessdate=2008-05-19}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1971&Constit=Peace_River |title=Peace River election results 1971 |publisher=Alberta Heritage Foundation |accessdate=2008-05-19 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612185115/http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1971&Constit=Peace_River |archivedate=2011-06-12 }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1975&Constit=Peace_River |title=Peace River election results 1975 |publisher=Alberta Heritage Foundation |accessdate=2008-05-19 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612185119/http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1975&Constit=Peace_River |archivedate=2011-06-12 }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1979&Constit=Peace_River |title=Peace River election results 1979 |publisher=Alberta Heritage Foundation |accessdate=2008-05-19 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612185131/http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1979&Constit=Peace_River |archivedate=2011-06-12 }} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1982&Constit=Peace_River |title=Peace River election results 1982 |publisher=Alberta Heritage Foundation |accessdate=2008-05-19 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612185136/http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1982&Constit=Peace_River |archivedate=2011-06-12 }} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1986&Constit=Peace_River |title=Peace River election results 1986 |publisher=Alberta Heritage Foundation |accessdate=2008-05-19 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612185306/http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1986&Constit=Peace_River |archivedate=2011-06-12 }} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1989&Constit=Peace_River |title=Peace River election results 1989 |publisher=Alberta Heritage Foundation |accessdate=2008-05-19 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612185452/http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1989&Constit=Peace_River |archivedate=2011-06-12 }} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bookfinder.com/dir/i/Boomer-My_Life_with_Peter,_Don_and_Ralph/0969874103/|title=Boomer: My Life with Peter, Don and Ralph|publisher=Bookfinder.com|accessdate=2008-05-19}} 10. ^Boomer' Adair dead at Age 67: [FINAL Edition]Slade, Daryl.
