  • January 2021 Class Notes for Class Pages in Alumni Connections
    January 2021 Class Notes for Class Pages in Alumni Connections 1963 Dear Friends from the Class of '63, We thought everything was on the road to recovery - the pandemic, presidential election, Christmas and going to church in parking lots or on Youtube or Zoom. Then yesterday happened, January 6, 2021. I think we all need to read the book called "A Boy, A Mole, A Fox and a Horse." It's about Love and Kindness. I had to read it twice to understand the message fully. Thank you to those who wrote me. Here's what our classmates are up to: Mary Roberts Judkins writes that she hasn't sent any news since our 50th, which she enjoyed very much. Here is a brief recap from 2013 to the present: In 2013, I was living in Hume doing my horse thing and my in-home dog boarding business. In 2016, I decided it was time to live in town. I thought it would take me 2 years to sell my house, but it took 2 weeks by myself. I quickly moved to a townhouse in Warrenton, It was hard to deal with all the steps for me and my aging dog, so this past October I moved to a one-level house in Warrenton. Covid has certainly made a difference for me as my family is all far away, but I have my dog and I'm coping. I am in frequent touch with SUE JORDAN Rodarte in San Antonio, TX, and am trying to figure out a good volunteer project.

  • RCAF History in Comics
    RCAF History – American Comics - April 1941 to 1946. This first issue of “ True Comics ” appeared in April 1941, however this four- color, ten-cent [US], treasure chest of American and Canadian culture would never be sold or read in Canada during World War Two. So why was each American publication full of Canadian and RCAF history? Possibly for the simple reason so many RCAF heroes were Americans serving in the RCAF fighting Nazi Germany. Canada declared war on Germany on 10 September 1939, and almost one year later, the Liberal government of P.M. William Lyon McKenzie King declared in parliament the passing of the War Exchange Conservation Act, [WECA]. This was a Canadian protectionist measure to help the Canadian dollar and strengthen the war economy in general. American publishing giants of pulp magazines and comic books were now restricted imports and no longer allowed into Canada. I believe this new law upset a number of powerful American comic book publishers, who had totally controlled the Canadian youngster’s minds from Prince Edward Island to the Vancouver Islands. By the beginning of March 1941, the American comics were gone from Canada for the next four years, a period historians have now titled “First Age of Canadian [Whites] comics.” Anglo-American Publications in Toronto and Maple Leaf Publications in Vancouver, B.C., were the first to fill the void and began publishing what collectors call the first true Canadian comic books, for sale in March 1941. Maple Leaf Publishers “ Robin Hood” and “Better” comics both appeared in March 1941. Today [2018] this “White” comic has a collector price between $600 to $800 [Can.] partly due to the fact they are so hard to find.

Kan Cover picture: Hawker Hurricanes ii First in the Air The Eagle Squadrons of World War II During the perilous years of 1940-1941, a small band of Americans joined the Royal Air Force to help England resist Nazi Germany. They did so while the United States remained a neutral power and overcame significant obstacles to accomplish their objective. Over time, the RAF formed three fighter units, known collectively as the Eagle Squadrons, around these volunteer pilots. These Americans flew alongside their British comrades in fighter and bomber escort missions until 1942, when they transferred into the United States Army Air Forces. The Eagle Squadron pilots made noteworthy contributions to the RAF, assisting them in their transition from fighting a defensive war to waging an offensive campaign against the German Luftwaffe and helping pave the way to an eventual Allied victory.

  • 14636 Mc Intyre Master Document.Indd
    Marion Mc Intyre was a woman cut of the warmest, kindest cloth who volunteered her time, her effort and her love. She was so many things to so many people - a loving wife, mother and grandmother, a friend and mentor, but more than anything, Marion was a wonderful example of the good in people. With the end of World War I, the year 1919 marked a time of change in American history, as soldiers returned home to start their families amidst a booming post-era economy. In Freeport, Illinois, Benjamin Shaw and his wife, Rae (Roberts), were among the many expecting parents, and on December 16, 1919, they were blessed with the birth of their daughter, Marion Beth. Marion and her brother, Robert, grew up in a loving, yet strict home. It was evident from a young age that Marion was a very bright girl. Her mother was an elementary school teacher and education was a top priority. Marion excelled in her studies and graduated from high school at the age of 16. In addition, she was the valedictorian of her 8th grade class and was elected to the Senior Honor Society in high school. Marion went on to graduate from Morton Junior College, where she was elected to the Alpha Pi Epsilon - Honorary Business Fraternity. Some time later, she took the Great Books Course at the University of Chicago, a passion that followed her throughout her life. Over the years she attended night school at various universities and took extension classes. It was in high school that Marion met her future husband, James (Jim or Mac) William Mc Intyre.

Although the unit repaired many different types of aircraft the artist centres on Avro An- sons which most likely belonged to No. 3 Service Flying Training School, also at Calgary, and No. 7 at Fort Macleod. Peter Whyte was born at Banff, Alta. and studied art in Los Angeles and Boston.
