After thirty-seven years of service, Jerry retired in Ottawa in 1986. As a Consultant, he taught management for the Public Service Commission and was the Course Director for the DND Middle Management Course for Civilians.

In 1995 Jerry retired completely to golfing in the summer and curling in the winter with an annual trip to Florida in March. He has been the President of the Ottawa Gunners, an Artillery Officers Association, since 1992.

Jerry and Claudette, who will celebrate their 45th Anniversary in 1999, are the proud parents of four children; Brian, Patrick, Catherine and Margaret.

Tad was born in Canora, Saskatchewan on 23 February, 1931, and spent his early life in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. His high school years were in Toronto at Western Tech where he received the Alumni Award as Outstanding Graduate in 1949.

Four years at Kingston resulted in his receiving a Diploma in Civil Engineering and these were interspersed with two summers of RCE training at Chilliwack, B.C. and a third summer in Labrador, surveying for the QNS&L Railway.

He received his BASC in Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto in 1954 and followed this with two years as a staff member of the Civil Engineering Department at RMC. During this period he coached the Junior Hockey Team to the District Championship and earned an MSc in Structural Engineering from Queen's University. His entire career was devoted to consulting engineering in the Civil, Transportation and Water Resources fields in Toronto, Winnipeg and Ottawa, where he retired as a Principal of Dillon Consulting in 1990.

He and Jeannette were married in 1954 and are the proud parents of three sons and two daughters. They are currently working on grandchildren and, although they number only three, the quality is high and rising. Retirement has been taken up by a little travelling, skating, biking and, of course, cottaging at Charleston Lake. This last bit does not sound as exciting as it is, so perhaps he should now get busy on that novel. Mordecai seems to have done well. (Ed note: We look forward to reading it).

Being an indifferent scholar and having no talent for sports I scraped through RMC in five years. On graduation I was posted to # 2 RCR at Soest, Germany. Germany was still showing massive damage from WWII but was recovering rapidly. While a Lieutenant's pay wasn't great it went a long way in 1954 Germany. (4.2 to the dollar vs nearly 1 now! Editor)

From Germany I returned to attend U of T to get my BSc. (mechanical). It was quite a breeze after RMC. Bill Hunter and I were sharing the same classes. As many of these were a repeat of material covered at RMC we were able to skip a lot of classes. Sadly Bill lost his brother in a single vehicle accident at the end of the school year and I lost contact with him after leaving Toronto. I rejoined the regiment at Wolsely Barracks in London and took my discharge after completing my three year term. My intent was to make a career of the army and had planned to return after getting a year of engineering experience on civvy street. That never happened as I found myself kept busier and with more responsibility than in the army. I accepted a job as project engineer with Canada packers in Montreal. Transferred to head office engineering in Toronto. Then back to Montreal as mechanical superintendent. Then again back to Toronto as superintendent of the feed and fertilizer division.

In 1965 I moved to Calgary as engineering manager for Burns Foods. My next job was general superintendent for Burns. From there I served as president of Western Industrial Consultants. I left and formed ASGARD engineering.

Calgary was a nice change from big cities, only about 250,000 when I moved there. Great hunting and the foothills and the mountains close at hand. Calgary mushroomed and by 1990 I decided to retire and moved to the Yukon where I built a cabin on Lake Teslin. I enjoyed the summers and the hunting and fishing but the winters were a bit of a drag. In 1994 I moved south to the village of Granisle in Northern BC... (the lakes district). Better hunting and fishing and closer to shopping and relatives in Albera. I now spend the winters in Arizona with Finn my golden retriever-yellow lab cross.

406 Elmwood Street, Kingston, Ontario K7M 2Z3 Pam and I were married in 1966, and have three lovely daughters; Lesley, Jane, and Pamela. Career-wise, following a master's degree from MIT, doctorate from University of Toronto, and three years' industrial experience in research and development with DuPont, I joined the faculty of RMC in 1960, teaching various courses in chemical engineering and nuclear engineering until retirement in 1995.

During this time I also conducted research under Defence Research Board and other grants; published numerous scientific papers and several book contributions; was elected a Fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada; was a consulting engineer to various corporations in the US and Canada; served on the board of directors of the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering; attended National Defence College; was dean of RMC's continuing education division 1980-84 and Dean of Graduate Studies and Research 1984-95.

I had the privilege of serving the Ex-Cadet Club on the Executive Committee, as a director of the Foundation, and as president of the Kingston Branch. Post-retirement activities have included consulting, part-time teaching, volunteer work with Kingston General Hospital, travel (Pam and I have 'discovered' cruising) and banjo player in a Dixieland jazz band. (Sweet sounds Bill. Ed)

Bonjour les amis, dès mon arrivée au Collège, on m'a surnommé U-trop d'après le célèbre personnage du roman Maria Chapdelaine que les anglophones de l'Ontario avaient étudié auparavant. Relater quarante-trois ans de vie en 200 mots c'est pas facile, mais voici les événements les plus marquants par ordre chronologique:

1953-54: Service militaire au Japon et en Coréc avec... le Corps de l'Ordonnance. J'ai eu la chance de passer 9 mois au Japon et comme disent les jeunes, ce fut super. De retour au Canada en juillet 1954, je me retrouve bientôt … l'Université Queens jusqu'en 1955. Je suis ensuite affecté de nouveau à diverses fonctions dans le Corps de l'Ordonnance, notammert au Dépôt de Longue-Pointe à Montréal. J'y rencontre ma future éspouse Denise Chatelier. Nous convolons en justes noces le 1 avril (eh.oui) 1957 et avons une fille France qui a aujourd'hui 34 ans.

En 1958, je quitte l'armée et dans les douze années qui vont suivre j'occupe des emplois dans la vente au sein de plusieurs sociétés internationales. Dans la période 1969-71 je contribue à mettre sur pied une firme de fabrication de batteries qui est ensuite vendue à des intérêts français. C'est grâce à cette initiative due je découvre 1'exportation et je fonde me propre société en 1972. Pendant plusieurs années, je développe le marché de 1'exportation dans la plupart des Ties dites les Antilles et ensuite je m'attaque à l'Afrique, le Moyen-Orient et l'Asie. En 1993, ayant pratiquement parcouru le monde entier, je décide de vendre ma compagnie CYG International, Inc. à mes employés associés et suis à présent un homme de loisirs.

Je peux donc me consacrer tout entier à mes passe-temps préférés: suivre de près les marchés boursiers, collectionner les bronzes et voyager par plaisir. Mon épouse et moi vivons aujourd'hui au bord du fleuve dans le Vieux Port de Montréal et nous invitons tous et toutes à venir nous y voir. A bientôt.
