After graduating from radio school in St.
John's NL in 1961 with a 2nd class certificate of proficiency in radio I
joined the Department of Transport as an RO-1. After a short course in
meteorology and aeronautical communications at ASTS in Ottawa I was posted to
Lake Eon Aeradio in northern Quebec. Subsequent postings were at Mont-joli
Marine/Aeradio, Quebec MAR and Frobisher MAR as RO and Shift Supervisor.
In 1973 I ended up at the Regional Office in
Montreal as a Standards officer and as Regional Operations Supervisor from
1975 to 1978. During the period 1979 to 1985 I was the Telecommunications Area
Manager at both Frobisher and Mirabel Airport.
I transferred back to the regional office in
1986 as Regional Superintendent FSS Operations from which position I retired
in 1998.
