3075 Morewood, HW (Harry) Following graduation and one year at Queen's to obtain my Electrical Engineering degree I joined the Defence Research Board and stayed under their wing for the next thirty years. For the first twenty years I was headquartered at C.A.R.D.E., eventually re-named DREV at Valcartier but spent significant periods deployed to Point Petre Missile Range near Picton, Ont., Fort Churchill, Man. and Kirkland Air Force Base, New Mexico. In 1974 I transferred to DIRES at Suffield, Alta and spent the next ten years enjoying the prairie with occasional forays to both coasts and the Atlantic Missile Range off Puerto Rico in support of a naval project. "On the home front I married Paula Thorkeisson from Winnipeg in 1961. We have three sons born in 1962, 1963 and 1969 and a daughter born in 1971. All have done and continue to do very well in every respect. The three boys are married and we have five grandchildren: Four granddaughters: one born in January 1994, one in February 2000, two in October 2002, and one grandson born in February 2000." In 1984, for a variety of reasons, I elected to take my superannuation on completion of thirty years in Defence Research. We moved to Victoria, Paula went back to work full time as a nurse after staying home for over twenty years raising the kids and I became a "house husband", learned to cook, etc. and I think it's a great arrangement. Currently I also maintain our sailboat and volunteer on the bridge of a local Power and Sail Squadron and on our Church Council. In 2002 Paula was forced to retire from her position at the hospital because she turned 65. However, not content to be "retired" she decided to start her own business as a "Nurse in Private Practice" doing foot care for the elderly. I now try to help her operating the business while continuing my role as grocery shopper and cook and staying involved with our church in a couple of volunteer capacities. At the same time a big thing in our lives is trying to keep in touch and visit as much as possible with our children and grandchildren who are scattered across the continent in Vancouver, Ottawa and Philadelphia.

The Bank of Montreal invited Walt to become their Compensation and Benefits supervisor for Ontario where he worked for the next 26 years. Positions held here included Personnel Manager International, Senior Manager, Compensation and Benefits, HRM and IS.

3080 Preville, P (Paul) After graduating in Mechanical Engineering in 1954, I joined Clarke Steamship Company Ltd. and started a career in marine transportation, an industry as old as the Phoenicians and as modern as today. As Port Engineer, then Engineer Superintendent, I was immersed in the repair and maintenance of a fleet of fifteen steam and diesel powered ships, spent many weeks each year attending to ships in drydock, and also made voyages at sea. Notwithstanding an engineering degree and RMC summers with the Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, I joined the Canadian Grenadier Guards, an infantry reserve regiment in Montreal and served for several years. At a New Year's Eve party to welcome 1956, I had a blind date with Doreen Gannon with whom I enjoyed a wonderful evening, and immediately set up another date. We had great times together. This led to our wedding on August 31, 1957, and we moved into a new bungalow in the Montreal suburb of Roxboro. And then there were kids, five of them, all boys! John was born in 1959, followed by Andrew, Edward, William and Philip, born in 1968. After Edward was born, we had to have a bigger house, so we added five bedrooms upstairs. Their presence led to considerable time and involvement in education and team sports, a back yard hockey rink, and wonderful family vacations. I was General Manager, Steamship Division and Clarke Transport upgraded its fleet in the 1960's. My department and I were involved in the design of six ships which were built in eastern Canadian shipyards, consisting of cargo ships for Newfoundland trade and automobile ferries for the St. Lawrence and Saguenay rivers. Clarke Transport and its partners formed Dart Containerline, a transatlantic carrier, and I was in charge of a team supervising the construction of two large container ships in England at the start of the 1970's. This enterprise also had me supervising the construction of a new container terminal in the port of New York and we had a similar project in Halifax. In 1972, I was appointed Vice-President Steamships, responsible for both the Steamship Division providing services in Canada and world wide transportation. Executive Vice-President in 1977 added highway and pool car transportation to my purview. There was frequent travel across Canada, to Britain, western Europe and subsequently to the Far East. After Clarke Transport was sold in 1982 and reorganized under new ownership, I joined Northern Transportation Company Limited (NTCL), a unique enterprise performing marine transportation in the Arctic, and moved to Edmonton as Vice-President Operations. The fleet of tugs and barges maximized payloads in the shallow waters of the Mackenzie River and the inshore areas of the western Arctic and Hudson Bay coasts, delivering all the fuel and other goods required in Arctic communities. I traveled extensively in the Arctic by air and sea visiting communities as cargoes were being delivered, always marveling at the vastness of Canada. In 1995, I became Vice-President, Business Development and extended NTCL's operating area across the Arctic from Alaska to Greenland. I have been enjoying retirement since mid 1996. Doreen and I live in Edmonton and have a recreational condo in Canmore where we enjoy the golf, skiing, hiking, and beauty of the Rockies. Welcome, the Old Brigade! Our class are now members and how fleeting were these fifty years.

3082 Quinn, C I had a tour as the Air Force Rep at Queens and completed a degree there. Set a record for short RMC staff tours by being sent packing by the Commandant over a disagreement over housing. I was right but he was a General.... Retired as a Major and shifted the focus of my activity to the Southern Hemisphere. I spent several itinerant years blue water sailing around Australia, NZ, Tonga, Fiji, etc finally settling in NZ. My Canadian wife and I were divorced early in this era (she still lives happily in NZ) and I married Cynthia, a lovely NZ lady. In 1989 I decided to put some direction in my life and drew up a five year plan for RV excursions in NZ, Australia and N America. We found RV travel interesting and exciting as a lifestyle. Now near the end of the second five years having done pretty much what we planned, we are researching something special for the year 2000. The outline goes like this: Cargo vessel from Australia (we lived there in Feb 1998), Hong Kong, The Silk Route Train through China to meet the Trans Siberian RR for the journey to Moscow, a river cruise on the Neva to St Petersburg, boat to UK across the North Sea, RV ravel travel in UK or Europe for a spell then fly to N America for a train trip to the West Coast. Then fly to Australia. (Ed Note: Whew!) The encore is drawing up the first five year plan for the new century. Cynthia and I both love our footloose lifestyle and if we won the Lotto tomorrow it might change the class but not the content of our journeys. |
