Pionairs District Director for New Brunswick, Rose-Anne Carney sent us the following:
I am enjoying The NetLetter as it keeps us all in touch with a shared love of the airline industry. Keep up the great work! I am writing to you with regards to a collection I received as the District Director for New Brunswick Pionairs. This TCA/Air Canada memorabilia collection came from the niece of Ralph D. Trites who passed away in July 2020 in his 95th year.
He was a career employee of TCA/Air Canada for over 35 years, working in Moncton, Halifax, Sydney NS, and Toronto. He retired in the Moncton area. This collection has many pictures of aircraft, VIP customers, and other events over the earlier years. As well, there are TCA and AC promo items like glassware, key chains, tags, posters, some Horizon issues (70's) and other collectibles. I have been able to share a display of the collection with our NB Pionairs at an event we held last year (attached a few pictures).
