HMCS Sackville was built in Saint John, New Brunswick and named after the Town of Sackville, NB. She was part of a large ship-building programme to respond to the threat posed by German U-boats in the North Atlantic, and was commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy in December 1941. HMCS Sackville is the last of Canada’s 123 wartime corvettes that played a major role in the Allies winning the pivotal Battle of the Atlantic (1939-1945). HMCS Sackville, her sister corvettes and other ships of the rapidly expanded Royal Canadian Navy, operating out of Halifax, St John’s and other East Coast ports, were front and centre during the lengthy war at sea. HMCS Sackville’s most memorable encounter occurred in August 1942 when she engaged three U-boats in a 24-hour period while escorting a convoy that was attacked near the Grand Banks. She put two of the U-boats out of action before they were able to escape. A year later, when another convoy was attacked by U-boats, HMCS Sackville engaged one U-boat with depth charges; however several merchant vessels and four naval escorts – including HMCS St. Croix - were torpedoed and sunk with heavy loss of life.

    Memorial to Vladimir Joseph Okulitch 1906-1995 W ALTER W. N A SSICH UK Geological Survey o f Canada, 3303 - 33rd Street N. W., Calgary, Alberta T2L 2A7, Canada Vladimir J. Okulitch died of a heart attack in Calgary on August 31, 1995, in his 90th year. Thus, Canada and the world of science lost an extraordinary geologist, teacher, astronomer, and university administrator. I lost my first teacher in paleontology and a longtime friend. Vladimir was focused on geology, but his interests extended beyond the earth to all the stars in the universe. He was a naturalist in the true sense, and for decades he observed and pho­ tographed the changing earth, its rocks, rivers, mountains, and all living things. Photography was a passion all his life, and his work was exhibited at amateur and profes­ sional shows throughout North America. Above all, Vladimir was a warm and gentle humanist with an easy ability to laugh, and he was beloved as a teacher and an administrator. Not surprisingly, he had a holistic view of the evolving earth and all its life forms. He stressed the need to understand the interdependence of geology, astronomy, physics, chemistry, and biology in the resolution of earth science problems. He beamed with enthusiasm when he taught paleontology, and it always seemed clear to students that the study of life on earth, past and present, was special in his heart. Vladimir Okulitch was bom on June 18, 1906, in St. Petersburg, Russia. His schooling in St. Petersburg was rigorous in the classical style, and each school day classes in languages, mathematics, the sciences, and history were followed by tutorials in every subject.

  • George Donald Hobson (1923–2015)
    ARCTIC VOL. 69, NO. 1 (MARCH 2016) P. 114 – 115 http://dx.doi.org/10.14430/arctic4549 GEORGE DONALD HOBSON (1923–2015) It’s been a hell of an interesting life. You’ve got the whole gamut of science in an area that’s just so darned interesting. (George Hobson on his affinity to the Arctic, quoted in Foster and Marino, 1986: back cover) This quote encapsulates the man that was George Hobson: bluff, engaged, and captivated by the North. As head of the Polar Continental Shelf Project (PCSP) in the 1970s and 1980s, George was a virtual gatekeeper of the Arctic for innumerable researchers and visitors, enabling many of them to experience the Arctic for the first time. He left his mark in the Arctic as few others have done. George was born in Hamilton, Ontario, on 8 January 1923, the son of Robert and Agnes Hobson. He attended Delta Collegiate and McMaster University (BSc in Math- ematics and Physics) in Hamilton. He enrolled in the first master’s-level geophysics course at the University of Toronto in 1946 and was awarded an MSc in Petroleum Geophysics in 1948. After graduation, George married Arletta (Arlie) Russell and moved to Edmonton, where he began his geophysics career with Heiland Exploration Canada Ltd. For 10 years George shuttled between seis- mic exploration in the northern Alberta bush and manage- ment positions, eventually becoming chief geophysicist at Merrill Petroleum Ltd. in Calgary. In 1958, George left the private sector for the federal public service, joining the Geological Survey of Canada in George Hobson at age 69 (Photo: Andreas Cordsen).

  • Robert L. Christie (1926 Ð 1999)
    ARCTIC VOL. 53, NO. 1 (MARCH 2000) P. 88–91 ROBERT L. CHRISTIE (1926 – 1999) Dr. Robert L. Christie, geologist, naturalist, and explorer, suffered a heart attack on his beloved sailboat in the morning of 1 September 1999 and died a few hours later in hospital in Belleville, Ontario. Some weeks earlier, Bob and Audrey had sold their small farm at nearby Madoc, Ontario, and were preparing to move to Gabriola Island in British Columbia, back to Bob’s home province. Bob will be remembered for a broad range of geological achieve- ments in western and Arctic Canada, as well as in Green- land, achievements documented by nearly 100 maps and reports published in scientific journals. He will be espe- cially remembered for his loving warmth, his infectious laughter, and his limitless generosity. Bob was undoubt- edly the kindest and gentlest man I have ever known, and his family and friends were the special delights in his life. During the early sixties, Bob and I camped together for three summers in the Arctic Islands, doing fieldwork for the Geological Survey of Canada. When faced with tough conditions in the field, Bob would harden with stoic endurance. But when the sun shone on our little flycamp, he would rise to a rhapsody, and his cheerful yodel would signal that all was well in our little corner of the vast Arctic wilderness. Bob won distinction for his fieldwork, particularly in the Arctic islands, but he eschewed visible signs of pres- tige, particularly those institutionally accepted ones, like the medals that he had won, which he playfully referred to as “gongs.” He felt that his most genuine rewards came from the sense of community and solidarity developed by working closely with people whose opinions and feelings Robert L.
