Retiring after 35 years of service was Harold H. McLean, radio technical officer in charge of maintenance of aeradio and marine services at Moncton.

Mr. McLean was born at Grindstone, Magdalen Islands, and obtained his certificate of proficiency in radio telegraphy at Halifax in 1919. He served in fishing trawlers with the Canadian Marconi Co., joining the Department of Marine and Fisheries in 1926.

In 1930 he was promoted to radio technician and served for many years in the former East Coast marine radio district office. In 1956 he was transferred to Moncton when the air and marine radio services were amalgamated.
