Memories of C & SS at Dorval by Terry Baker.
In the 70's & 80's, the Computer & Systems Services (C & SS) group were accommodated in a room over the wash bay of the Dorval maintenance complex. My memory of the people there were Bill Heska, Manager; Bob Bishop, Senior Supervisor; Bob Belding & Shirley Graham.
A visiting system analyst built a model Viscount and donated it to me. I fixed a three bladed propeller on its nose and coloured it red, blue and green. This was used to signal to Bob Bishop the mood of Shirley each morning!
Later our group was moved into a room near the Purchasing & Supply accommodations. This room did not have any outside window and was very dreary. We nicknamed the room 'Happy Valley'. After the computer building was completed, the group moved onto the second floor with an airy open-plan concept and windows on three sides. In the centre were several meeting rooms. I recall the following personnel:
Bill Downard, Director; Maryse ?, Secretary; Ken Taylor, Manager; Andy McCready; Ray Valois; Joe Mallory; Aron Charad; Al Kurys; Bob Herron; Roger Rouse; Edna Morrison; Lois Morrison (who ran a messy desk, smoked and beat the guys in the hockey pool); Jim Pearce; Hans Parnigoni; Guy Langavin; Bonnie Alexander; Sheldon Doskie; Mike Duff; Anne Marie Stiegler; Barry Bogert; Lilian ?; Steve Charlton (who organized car rallies); Norman Roberts; Kevin Boyle (proud owner of a DAF 600 car) and Brian Ward.
Editors' Note: We contacted Bob Belding in YUL and he advised of a few more names from the era: Ed Mason, Harold Macdonald, Gord Pope, Marty Hill, Tony Spina, Marty Hill, and Maeve Morrison sister of Lois Morrison.
We also found the photo below in the March 1979 issue of Horizons.
If any of the people mentioned above are NetLetter subscribers and have any photos or additional info to share, we would love to hear from you.
