3145 Lundlie, Marshall O Born: Prince Albert, Sask., July 15, 1932 High School Education: Prince Albert Collegiate Institute Royal Roads: 1949-1951 Having failed to make any aircrew category on account of inadequate vision, I decided to switch to the University of Toronto and major in English and French. University of Toronto: B.A. Honours (1954); M.A., French Language and Literature (1957); Ph.D., French Language and Literature (1963). Spent two years in France teaching English French secondary Lille and Toulouse followed by a year in Paris doing research for a doctoral thesis. My first full-time teaching appointment was at Queen's University, Kingston, where I taught in the French Department from 1960 to 1971. During my years as a graduate student and teacher I pursued a glorious side career in the RCAF Reserve. I spent three summers on staff at the Reserve Officers School (Centralia, RMC and CMR) and two very enjoyable summers on staff at the School of Instructional Technique, Trenton, Ont. While at Queen's, I also served on the RCAF Reserve unit on campus, reaching the dizzy heights of Squadron Leader. My military career came to an end when military units on university campuses were disbanded in 1967. It was while stationed at CMR in 1957 that I met my future wife Lise, a vivacious Quebecoise. We will celebrate our fortieth wedding anniversary this coming September. We have three sons, aged 39, 34 and 28. In 1971, we moved to Regina, Sask. where I taught French at the University of Regina until my (early) retirement in 1995. I was Head of the department for two terms. During my career as a professor of French, we spent several interesting and enjoyable sabbatical years in France: Paris, Strasbourg, and Aix-en-Provence. I am presently greatly enjoying my retirement, reading all the books I didn't have time to read when I was teaching and playing a fair amount of bridge (V/P of the local Duplicate Bridge Club). As soon as Lise finishes a book she is working on, we plan to travel. Greetings and best wishes to all my ex-classmates. It was great to hear about you.
3146 McCrimmon, Kenneth Gordon (Ken) At RMC Ken was an "artsman" majoring in history, economics, etc. He graduated in 1953 with first class honours, winning the History prize. He also found time to help found and be Pipe Major of the first RMC pipe band. Following jet conversion, Ken joined 422 (F) Squadron at 4 Wing, Germany. For three and a half glorious years he had the opportunity to fly the F-86, at the time, the hottest tighter in the skies of Europe. But, of greater importance, it was during this time that he met and married Isolde, the love or his life, who was a translator for the French army in Baden-Baden. Ground postings to St. Hubert and then to Royal Roads followed. The highlights of these tours were the births of sons Robert in 1957 and Ian in 1961. Later, Rob completed CMR and RMC while Ian graduated from Queen's. After flying with the Air Force, both are now airline pilots. In 1962 Ken returned to flying, this time on the CF-104 Starfighter in France and Germany with 421 (St/A) Squadron. Most of the work consisted of low-level, solo missions. requiring extensive pre-flight planning and concentrated flying in a demanding machine. Six years later Ken and Isolde were in the Laurentians at a Bomarc station for a three year stint. While the administration work was interesting, there was no hesitation in packing up and going back to Germany when an opening occurred on another Starfighter unit, 441 Squadron. A final flying job as leader of the Group Training Flight at 4 Wing brought Ken to the end of his Air Force career. In November, 1976 Ken was out of uniform but still at 4 Wing. He served there as a civilian in various administrative functions until CFB Baden-Soellingen closed in 1993 and he retired for good. Retirement finds Ken and Isolde living in Baden-Baden from spring to autumn while winters are spent in Florida. When not organizing trips to Canada for their German friends, they keep busy with activities in Baden or travelling, some times to their sons in Canada and Hong Kong, but mostly around Europe. As this is written both enjoy reasonable health and are looking forward to visiting their grandchildren (three in Hong Kong and two in Trenton) before heading for Florida for the Winter.
3150 McMillan, Kenneth W (Ken) In 1956 I left the Service and joined Atomic Energy of Canada at Chalk River. Later I moved to Toronto to work on the design of Canada's nuclear power plants. In 1963 I joined Bechtel Corporation and moved to San Francisco. I spent 20 years with the Bechtel Group involved with the design and construction of nuclear power plants in the US and abroad. In 1982 I retired from Bechtel and pursued some projects in real estate developments in the Walnut Creek, CA and Lake Tahoe area. I married Betty the day after graduating from RMC. (Ed note: jewel of his life). We have three children and eight grandchildren. One son is a Mechanical Engineer and works for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. A daughter has a business degree and is a homemaker with her three children. One son is a thriving general building contractor in Walnut Creek. I survived a heart attack in 1988 and am now in a fight with cancer. I have divested myself from most responsibilities and Betty and I are enjoying retirement. We like to ski, travel, bike, gardening, read, play bridge, and entertain friends. Our family is close by and is our greatest pleasure. We have had a wonderful life and keep looking for new adventures. I am grateful for the maturing and learning experiences at the Canadian Colleges and the friends acquired during that time. Without this experience my life would not have been so rich.
3155 Miller, Donald S (Dusty) Following RMC I took Mech Eng at Queen's then started towards CF-100 flying. The gods were favorable however, and sent me towards a T-33 and F-86 circuit pattern. We had three terrific years in Germany flying with 444 Sqn at 4 (F) Wing and enjoying the pleasures of early post-war Europe. A poignant note: Bob Kostiuk took me to the station to meet Joan on her arrival in Germany (a month after my arrival). The next day he was killed in an F-86 accident. Hardly an encouraging start for a new bride in a new and strange country. When my tour in Germany ended in 1958, I left the RCAF for a new career on civvy street. I lectured at RMC for two years while I took my Masters degree at Queen's. I joined Pratt & Whitney Canada (Longueuil Que) where I spent the next 31 years in marketing. Most of that time I seemed to be strapped to an airplane seat where I racked up five million km of air travel selling to aircraft companies worldwide. It was challenging and always interesting work to help take aircraft ideas from conception to reality in a variety of countries with widely different cultures and methods of approaching similar problems. Of course it was immensely satisfying to see our products: PT6, JT15D and PW 100 engines enjoy worldwide success. Upon retirement in 1991, we took up residence on the banks of the St Lawrence in Kingston. Here we enjoy a full life with water sports and in time left over with gardening, bridge, computing, travel, and friends...many of whom are those from the colleges. From 1995 to 1998 I have been teaching Business Administration courses at RMC..just to keep my hand in. After the ice storm of January 1998 Florida climes look ever more appealing, subject of course, to the declining $CAD$!!
3156 Morris, Norman D (Norm) Another client was the Toronto General Hospital. It was there that I met a very charming young lady (in Accounting no less). Her name was Heather Nash and she became my wife in 1955. It was the beginning of a very happy marriage that has lasted for forty-four years and produced two daughters and three grandsons at the last count. Having decided that my future would be in Industry rather than Public Practice, I moved on and up with a number of companies in a variety of endeavours from consumer and capital goods to real estate development. However, my one ambition was to be in business for myself and I took the big step in early 1979. I opened a new Chrysler dealership in Waterloo, Ontario. For the first six months things went extremely well. We were making ourselves known in the community and we took second place away from Ford dealership. With the problems in Iran causing gasoline shortages and the economic problems at Chrysler making buyers fearful, the world caved in on us. The cars that only a few weeks before had been selling well were now just sitting on the lot running up the interest bill. Finally, withthe bank withdrawing its support, we were forced to close and I was staring failure in the face. All was not lost. After spending several months working as a consultant on a large real estate project in Florida, I joined Ontario Lottery Corporation as CEO. Automotive industry experience or leadership, duty and honesty from RMC or both worked for me. That background parlayed into an average increases for OLC of 20% to 30% in sales and profit over an eight year period. I also managed a number of innovations for the lottery industry. I look back on my lottery years with great satisfaction in making the OLC the best and most profitable Ontario Crown Corporation. The new Liberal government decided that they no longer needed my services.
Daughter Susan married an English CA, and settled in Surrey. After a lot of soul searching, Heather and I decided that we would move to England so that we could watch our grandsons grow up. It was a hard decision to make because it meant that we would be leaving our younger daughter, Nancy, in Canada. Our move to the UK has worked out well. My son-in-law asked me to give him a couple of days a week as his practice was growing and it wasn't long till it became five days a week but with the
privilege of taking any days off that I wanted. I am and I am now President of the Ex-Cadet Club UK Branch and Church Treasurer of St Nicholas Church in Godstone, Surrey. Heather is busy with volunteer work and being a Grandmother. We are both looking forward to 1999 and two trips to Canada. The first for Nancy's wedding in May and the second for our class reunion and entering the Old Brigade in October.
