Issue dated September 1986. In true 50th anniversary spirit, Calgary employees went all out this year in designing and building a float for the city's Stampede parade. Judy Vitek, a Customer Sales and Service Agent in the reservations office, came up with the award winning design. Jim Ballingall, who headed up the float committee, estimates that it took the core of volunteers 750 man-hours to build it. Among those involved in the project were Mechanics Ray Rutherford, Viv Lloyd, Scott Fairbairn and Earl Fried, not to mention all those who decorated the float and rode in the parade. The group effort paid off. The float met with enthusiastic applause and was named the best in the parade. In the photo the aircraft and crew cruise through downtown Calgary. |
