In 1967 I joined the faculty of Ryerson Polytechnical Institute and remained there for just under twenty-five years seeing the progressive transition into a full-fledged University. I taught civil and sanitary engineering subjects to civil students and environmental engineering subjects to the Public Health Program. Practical experience was encouraged, so it was possible to maintain technical relevancy with part-time work as a specialist/consultant to the firms that had previously employed me. Computer literacy came in the early 1980's. This proved invaluable in upgrading my courses, especially those which helped lead to accreditation by the A.P.E.O. A strong interest in computers remains.

I was elected to the Pollution Control Association of Ontario executive in 1976 and served as President (1 979-80), and as a Director (1 981-84) of the parent Water Environment Federation. Subsequently I was awarded the Arthur Sidney Bedell Award and elected as a member of the 5S Society, Ontario Chapter. In 1986 1 was made a Director of the St Marys Cement Corporation and remained in that capacity until the sale of the company in 1997. On a more personal basis I married Winifrede (Win) Rogers in 1957 and we have three sons - Guy Donald, and John . Guy is married to Liz Lundell (Sid's niece) and they have two children - Kate and Owen. Don married Kelly Byrne and they also have two children Alex and Emma. Win was choir mother at St.George's College in Toronto for many years which developed an interest in classical music, amateur recording and choir tours in Great Britain. Win is also an internationally recognized quilter.

I paint military miniatures in artists oils and served on the executive of the Ontario Model Soldiers Society (President 1981) for several years. In 1991 Ryerson offered an early retirement package that couldn't be refused. In 1994 we left Toronto and moved to a working farm just north of Port Hope. Outdoor work and genealogy studies for two families are currently talking up most of my time. We both still love the country.

Partner: Sue Haitas (Mrs. Conrad on October 26th, 1999).
Children: Gretchen, mother of Merina (3 years) and newborn twin boys. Paul (still a bachelor, but only just).
After graduating from RMC, I served in Korea, and then attended Queen's University, graduating in 1955. I rejoined Lord Strathcona's Horse in Calgary and served in many Canadian postings, including Fort Churchill, Manitoba. I graduated from the Canadian Army Staff College in 1962, and was later posted to the Royal Canadian Dragoons in Base Gagetown, New Brunswick. I commanded the United Nations Independent Squadron in Cyprus during 1965-66.

I resigned from the Army in 1969 and joined Transport Canada, where I served in several appointments, retiring as a senior policy advisor in 1985. I now work as a travel agent and my spare time is filled with musical and theatrical activities: barbershop singing with the Capital City Chorus, acting and singing in many productions of the Orpheus Musical Theatre, and producer for several of them. From time to time I also sing and act with the Savoy Society in their Gilbert and Sullivan productions. Sue joins me in these endeavours, and we both enjoy travelling to faraway places when time permits.

3028 Day, R F (Dick)
Born 8 June 1931, Kingston, ON, where I had my primary and secondary schooling. With no intention of going to RMC, wrote qualifying exams for entrance to RMC at the behest of my mother who thought it would be good experience and who offered an incentive of one tennis racquet. Somehow got accepted into RMC but still not sure why I went. After graduating from RMC, attended Queen's University and graduated in Mechanical Engineering in 1954.

Upon graduation, joined Honeywell Controls as a sales engineer - I always wanted to be a salesman - and moved to Toronto where I met Betty Bassingthwaighte and convinced her to marry me in 1956. How could she not marry me, given the opportunity to shorten her name by 13 letters? (Good move! Ed)

Moved to Burlington in 1956 and joined Alchem Limited, a specialty chemical firm, now known as Nalco Inc., where I stayed until Dec 1976. Worked in product management and ended up as V.P. Marketing. I'm sure I visited every mine, pulp and paper mill and refinery in Canada during my career with Alchem. During this time, Betty and I had two daughters, Carolyn and Lissa, and one son, John. We, also, bought a cottage in 1974 on Lake of Bays, in the Muskoka area, north of Toronto, which became, and still is, the focal point of family activities.

In Jan 1977, joined Tricil Inc., Mississauga, a waste management company, as President and CEO. Had six very challenging and exciting years growing the company five fold in the field of toxic waste disposal and the garbage business and, at the same time, trying to keep out of the news. I'm sure the cottage helped me stay sane during this time.

After agreeing to disagree with the Chairman of Tricil, I left Tricil in 1983 and a few months later joined a German engineering company, Lurgi Canada Ltd., in Toronto, as President where I went from 650 employees at Tricil to 20 employees at Lurgi. Quite a change! With Lurgi I got to see a lot of the QEW between Burlington and Toronto and much of the world outside of Canada as well. I stayed with Lurgi for 13 fantastic years, until retirement in June 1996, at which time the German parent company decided to close down the Canadian operations. As a result, they still have me involved to an extent.

Tragically, in May 1992, my wife Betty died very suddenly, only a couple of months after we skied with the whole family at Whistler. In August 1994, I married Sheila Johnson who Betty and I had known since 1967, and we moved to Toronto. Between Sheila, who has 3 daughters and 4 grandchildren and me, with my 2 daughters, one son and 5 grandchildren, we keep ourselves pretty busy keeping in touch with family, enjoying the sights and sounds of Toronto, travelling and spending time at the cottage.Tel: 416-207-0170; FAX: 416-236-2085; e-mail: rfday@sympatico.ca

3031 Denman, Robin (Denny)
Arrived at RMC still surprised at making the cut, having no athletic ability, obvious leadership qualities or school cadet experience. Surrounded by wannabe pilots, engineers, tank commanders and admirals, being one of the few who opted for infantry was the clincher. At least I could walk and hell, someone has to do the fighting! At the first open house, Glen Tivy produced a gaggle Kingston's finest females to check out the action. I found myself followed by a dark eyed tinker bell called Peggy. A wonky appendix hospitalized me, but Glen tipped her off and we have been together ever since.

I missed the obstacle course, walked the Fort Henry run and lasted ½ round against Dillon in recruit boxing. There was no easy way to pass off the Square. A classic dyslexic with two right feet, Coggins finally gave me and the other klutzs our walking papers. Entirely uncoordinated, avoiding sports. Dyslexics can't add, spell, lack memory and write like five year olds. Arnold Edinburgh did all he could but Joe Thomas' advice helped. "Denny you need a good quote". I learned report writing from physics labs. The efforts ofmy favorite Prof were not in vain, I am told my business report were quite creative. Took the general course, concentrating on economics and math. Other favorite professors were Preston and "The Owl."

On graduation I switched from reserve to active service and arrived just as the Korean War ended. Korean troops were integrated into the Infantry Regiments and 1/3 of my platoon were locals, mostly farmers. With occasional DMZ duties, and what with practising rapid retreat (a game of musical frogs in which players leap backwards, hoping not to be caught on the ground) I saw a lot of the countryside.

Home again, enrolled in Queens, and with no desire for a military career I requested a discharge. Peggy became instantly pregnant and with no job or income I could only study, acquiring a B. Comm. It was a wonderful year.

Settled in Montreal and worked a couple of years for Building Products. Moved to St. Lambert while seeking employment in Financial Management. Again surprised to make the cut, and after a fast learn- on-the-job Royal Insurance decided to keep me. They packed off to Toronto with the first referendum, and with a young family and a newly purchased home I took a stab as an analyst with a stock broker. Bad idea. Fled to a trust company with a pay scale that all but required embezzlement. Landed on my feet as Investment Manager at Commercial Union Insurance where I stayed until retirement Along the way I went to Concordia (evenings) eventually emerging with an MA in economics.

In 1974 Commercial Union joined the flight of capital from Quebec and this time we did the same, settling in Scarborough. Peggy became a Lay Reader and a constant visitor and Lay Champlain at the Nursing Home.

Retired in 1989. Member in a life industry Canada / USA investment committee; participated in an industry / government Study on Investment Accounting; did papers on Provincial Debt, Asset matching, and Investing in an inflationary environment; prepared study material on investments for Insurance Institute students; and a unsuccessful defense of the 'Legal list' versus the 'Prudent portfolio' for regulating the industry.

I have had a lifelong interest in nature and published several articles on wild flowers. A member of the Bruce Trail. Read history, natural history, philosophy, native people and the arctic. Peggy and I enjoy the cottage, beaching, camping, gardening and travel. Of course our main interest has always been family: five kids, nursing, army, clergy, blue collar and California. Peggy keeps track of the grandchildren.
