Alfred E. Publicover and Mrs. Publicover say thanks to J. Maher, Officer-in-charge, Halifax Marine radio, for the gifts they receive at retirement reception.

Alfred E. Publicover retired at the end of October 1964 after 35 years with the telecommunications and electronics branch.

He was appointed officer-in-charge of Halifax marine radio and held that position until 1962 when the station was combined with Camperdown Marine Radio. At the time of his retirement Mr. Publicover was supervisor at Halifax (Camperdown) Marine Radio.

 

On the day of his retirement friends and co-workers held a reception for Mr. Publicover and his wife, Marcelle, and presented them with several gifts and best wishes.
