Here are a
couple of photos about my father Stuart Maxner that I thought might be of
interest.

My father Stuart Maxner with some radio gear in
the basement of our DOT dwelling on Sable Island
Canso aircraft that occasionally
bought supplies to Sable (we also received biannual supply deliveries by CCG
ship).
The above photos to be
credited to Steve Maxner, son of Stu Maxner.
Stuart was in the Merchant Marine and after the war was on Sable Island as
an RO in 1945. He went back there in 1954-56 with his family and was there
with John Melvin, who we know from the JAWS site. He became a Radio Tech
with DOT and retired in 1974. I think he is shown above with his amateur
transmitter, likely homebrew (?).
His son Steve was a telecom engineer with DOT and
retired in 2006.
