John St. Clair Edwards He had a passion for traveling and was happiest going somewhere with Viviane at his side. John Edwards died on November 15, 2011. He was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and grew up in Montego Bay. He came to Canada in 1960 to attend UNB where he completed a B.A., B.Ed and M.Ed. and where he met Viviane Giroux whom he married in 1966. They married during summer school so it was a few years before they could have a honeymoon. In 1968, John bought a new yellow Mercury Cougar, filled the trunk with camping gear and they set off across Canada driving as far as Victoria, down the California coast and back across the US, stopping along the way to attend workshops in Montreal, at Brock University and at UBC. It was the beginning of a lifelong love of traveling and learning. John traveled to many exotic locations, but the place he loved most of all was his cottage on the Baie de Chaleur in northern New Brunswick. He loved entertaining friends there, sitting by the fire pit near the Bay, eating lobster and crab, watching the sunsets and counting the stars. Professionally, he worked in the field of education at various levels of the system. At UNB he set up the first High School Relations Office, traveling to schools in Eastern Canada and Quebec, encouraging students to attend UNB. He taught at St. Thomas University and worked for some time as a counselor at UNB. But he spent most of his career as a teacher and counselor in schools in Quebec and in New Brunswick. Students gravitated to him. He was a mentor to many who years later would approach him on the street to introduce him to their children and more recently to their grandchildren: "Meet Mr. Edwards, he was my best teacher". As one of his former students said on a recent visit to his home: "I am who I am today because of you. I would not have finished high school if it hadn’t been for you. I would not have gone to university. You were the only adult I could speak to". John had many interests. Apart from his love of traveling which took him to various parts of the world, he loved learning and never stopped trying to learn French and Spanish, taking courses in Fredericton but also in France, Quebec and Mexico. He loved to play the guitar and as late as a few weeks before his death he was learning Cohen’s "Hallelujah". He loved to play bridge and studied the game with a passion. He loved golf, tennis, fishing, bird watching. He loved music, especially jazz and had an impressive collection which he enjoyed sharing with his friends. He enjoyed painting and also photography. He was an avid sports car fan and drove a 1968 MGB every summer for thirty years. "But never when it rained" he would say. John deeply loved and was immensely proud of his son Mark, daughter-in-law Karen and little grandson Jack, whom he adored. He loved his sister Barbara, brother-in-law Clive, favorite nieces Debbie and Diane and Beth, as well as several other family members. He had many friends whose friendships he treasured. He had a presence, a charisma, a beautiful smile. He will be deeply missed. We will gather to remember John at Gallery 78, 796 Queen St. at 4:00 pm on Saturday, Nov 19th .

Dr. George Peter Semeluk 1924-2011 The family of Dr. George Peter Semeluk, of Fredericton, NB, is deeply saddened to announce his passing at the DECH, on Saturday, May 28, 2011, at the age of 87 years. His devoted and loving daughter, Catherine, and his caregiver/friend, Racheal Hamilton, were by his side as he peacefully passed away. Born in Coleman, AB, on April 14, 1924, he was the only child of William and Katherine (Danyluk) Semeluk and the husband of the late Marion Elizabeth Semeluk who predeceased him on May 3, 2005. He is the last surviving member of his immediate family. George received most of his public schooling in the coal mining town of Luscar, AB, leaving his hometown to finish grades 11 and 12 at Victoria High School in Edmonton, AB, as these levels were not available to him in Luscar. Upon completion of high school, George enrolled in Honours Chemistry at the University of Alberta where he received his B.Sc. in 1947 and his M.Sc. in 1949. George loved to learn and in 1955 he received his first Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago followed by a second Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Cambridge University in the U.K., in 1960. George worked at a variety of jobs during his years of studies some of which included working in the coal mines, firefighting along the Alaska/Canada Highway as well as working for Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company (Trail, BC), General Electric (Cleveland, Ohio) and Electrochemical Laboratories (Tulsa Oklahoma). In September 1960, George began his career at UNB, first as an Associate Professor in the Chemistry Department, during which time he along with Ph.D. students carried out research in photochemistry/ photophysics resulting in the production of approximately 30 research papers. George became a well established and respected "full" professor in 1968, a position he retained until his retirement in June 1989. He demonstrated a passion for teaching and for his students; always being readily available to help whenever asked. During his years at UNB, George became involved in many aspects of university life. He was elected to the Senate as a representative of the Faculty of Science and served in this position from 1968-1976. George served as chairman on innumerable committees, both standing and ad hoc, one of which dealt with student representation on the Senate, along with serving on Faculty of Science and Department of Chemistry committees. He was president of the Association of New Brunswick Teachers and a key member of the bargaining team that secured the first collective agreement for UNB’s full-time professors, librarians, and instructors. George was a founding member and leading volunteer of the FNBFA and over a 30 year span held positions as a board member, treasurer and publisher of the Federation’s newsletter. In 2002, he received the Prix Nicole Raymond Award, presented to one who has "significantly influenced post-secondary teaching in New Brunswick", for his "tireless and uninterrupted commitment". The FNBFA also created The George Semeluk Scholarship, in his honour, (a four year renewable scholarship awarded annually) in recognition of his personal integrity and his strong role in supporting and developing faculty activism. As a former colleague stated, "George was a gentleman and scholar of impeccable integrity and a firm believer in the ideals of collegiality". George married the love of his life, Marion, on May 7, 1949 and together they shared 56 wonderful years. He was actively involved, alongside his wife, in the raising of their 3 children, being a very hands-on father in a time when many weren’t. He had a passion for computers and following his retirement found great pleasure rebuilding them, as well as staying on top of the most recent technology. George enjoyed reading a variety of publications and there wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer. Once he retired, he and Marion spent many winters in Arizona and took numerous trips to places such as the USSR, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, China, Japan, Cuba and Mexico. In more recent years, George’s greatest pleasure came from family gatherings and the daily visits from his daughter and his caregivers. George was a very gentle, kind and caring man. He demonstrated an unrelenting selfless love for his family. This was very evident in how he cared for his wife and in the many ways he supported his children. He remained a devoted and loving father to his three children, William of Oakville, ON, Michael (Barb) of Edmonton, AB, and daughter Catherine (Gary) with whom he lived until his passing. George loved deeply and took great pleasure in visits from his grandchildren, Olaf Rubis of Calgary, AB, and Erica and Ryan Brown of Fredericton, always willing to provide huge smiles, hugs and kisses for them. He will be profoundly and forever missed and loved by his family as well as his full-time caregiver, Racheal Hamilton, George’s and Catherine’s "Angel", who also loved him deeply. The family would, as well, like to thank caregivers Flo Enman, Judy Burrows and Donna Calhoun who brought sunshine into George’s life and provided him with wonderful care and attention. "Sharing a life together is sharing steps in time. The music is different to each of us ~ but how beautiful the dance." It has been a privilege to have been part of Dad’s life and to have shared in his last dance. For this I will be eternally thankful and grateful. I love you, Dad. Catherine A memorial gathering will take place at McAdam's Funeral Home, 160 York Street, Fredericton on Saturday, June 4th, 2011 from 2-5 pm.

Dr. John M. Anderson 1926-2011 Dr. John Anderson—university president, marine research director, visionary conservationist of the North Atlantic Salmon, dashing ski instructor and proud husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather—died Thursday, March 24, 2011 at home in St. Andrews New Brunswick. He was 84 years old. Embracing the philosophy that people should always do the type of work and learning that they like to do, Dr. Anderson again and again pursued new challenges, from being a high school drop out, to research scientist, university professor, and president of one of the oldest public universities in North America, the University of New Brunswick. A native of Toronto, Dr. Anderson was the city boy who in 1976 declared himself to be “in love with small towns.” He was instrumental in all three of the major research and conservation institutions in St. Andrews N.B., serving as Director of the Biological Station, one of the Canada’s top marine biology research facilities; co-founder of the Huntsman Marine Sciences Centre, which brings universities and government together in research efforts; and the Atlantic Salmon Federation’s vice president of operations. Dr. Anderson was born on Sept. 3, 1926, the first son of the late Murray and Eleanor Anderson. He was also predeceased by his brother Ross. He is survived by his second wife Sylvia (Richard), his devoted caregiver during his illness of recent years; his brother George; his six children, Nancy [Hannah] (Brian Bedard), Suzanne (David Smith), Peter (Karen) Kathy (Kirk Mitchell), Tanya and Traci (Greg Morrison); by nine grandchildren, and one great grandchild. His first wife, Eileen-Ann [Sue] McFaul predeceased him in 1983. For many years Sue and John Anderson and their extended families had an important focus in Collingwood, Ontario at the McFaul family “Cabin”, a beautiful square timber cottage. Skiing was a major source of family fun in the winter, with tennis and swimming occupying the summer months. “Johnnie” as he became known in ski circles learned to ski in Collingwood, first taking lessons from and then serving as an instructor under Luggi Foegar, the Austrian born ski legend and ski slope designer known as the “Tahoe Mountain Man”. Johnnie took to the slopes as a skier and comic figure in Foegar’s film Rhythm on Snow, shot in the Canadian Rockies. Dr. Anderson’s personality was reflected in his skiing technique—coolly confident and purposeful to the last run. Seeking to pass on his love of skiing to his children, he would ask at the end of the day how often they fell on the hill. If this was an impressive number of times, he was happy because the young skiers were challenging themselves and pushing their limits. John also found life lessons in his own teen years, working summers and Saturdays as a salesman and junior executive at Eaton’s Department store in Toronto. He saw the duties of the junior executive as mainly promotional, and he observed: “The main thing was our pictures got in the paper and we got to be in the Santa Claus parade”. John was a strong salesman for all his causes, but as he took key roles in research and academic administration he saw the importance of promoting his staff and associates. He had a “high tide raises all ships” approach—if his colleagues were doing well, he was happy and so was the institution. Nonetheless, working on ships on the high seas was not his strong point. In 1945, during the last months of the war, he served in the navy, and soon discovered off Newfoundland that this was not the way to see the world and furthermore, he was sea sick most of the time. Nonetheless, his love of the sea was maintained, and he owned a succession of boats over the years while living in St Andrews. John picked up the thread to complete high school and soon revealed his strong respect for the value of education, which he developed from his mother Eleanor, the first woman graduate in political science from the University of Toronto (U of T). John completed his BSC in forestry from U of T (1951), and in pursuing his doctorate, diversified his academic interest from forestry to animal physiology. In 1958, this won him an appointment as an assistant professor of biology at UNB, and then an associate professorship at Carleton University in 1963. Recruited in 1967 to be Director of the Biological Station in St. Andrews, Dr. Anderson launched a period of expansion and outreach for the facility. He was determined to open up the research work of the marine scientists so the public could better understand its value for the country. A key method in this effort was his commissioning of the film Down to the Sea by director Giles Walker, revealing the challenges and benefits of ocean research at the Station. Dr. Anderson made his mark with superiors in Ottawa, and in 1972 be became Director General in charge of all the nation's research facilities for the Department of Fisheries. Within a year, though, he felt the pull back to New Brunswick and academia and in 1973 accepted the presidency of the University of New Brunswick. Well before partnerships and linkages became popular, Dr. Anderson saw the advantages for institutions in forging partnerships on important projects. During his time with the Biological Station and with the other national Department of Fisheries research facilities, Dr. John pursued connections between the universities and marine research. The Huntsman Marine Science Centre in St. Andrews was the essential vehicle, fostering the participation of over 35,000 students and professors at HMSC over 40 years. Particularly attractive to Dr. Anderson was the fact that all 300 Grade Six students in Charlotte County recently participated in a two day discovery program at Huntsman, learning about the species that inhabit the inter-tidal zone. Becoming president of UNB in 1973, the partnership approach continued. Dr. Anderson expanded the university’s research capacity and encouraged new programs in aquaculture and marine biology. His tenure saw the opening of the Aitken Centre and Integrated University Complex in Fredericton and the Athletic Centre at the University of New Brunswick in Saint John (UNBSJ). Dr. John McLaughlin, who served as president of UNB three decades after Dr. Anderson, observed in a 2010 tribute: “–It was Dr. Anderson who set out the vision of a one-university, two campus institution … a powerful, integrating concept...” Fittingly, President Anderson presided over the university’s first convocation at the UNBSJ campus. President Anderson was an effective lobbyist for the university in government circles. He served at a time when university campuses were still alive with the protest and debate of “the Sixties” and their aftermath. With his no-nonsense, straight-ahead management style he had less patience for the sometimes entrenched positions of campus politics. Friends had offered their sympathies when he first took the presidency, but he persevered, telling the Atlantic Advocate magazine at the time: “–One of my conclusions has been it’s a lot more fun than I thought it would be.” After his presidency, in recognition of his contributions to academia he received several honorary doctorate degrees from various universties, adding a collection of additional letters after his name. A growing passion for Dr. Anderson was the Atlantic Salmon, its fate in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic, and its declining return rates to many eastern rivers. He once loaned a family friend a copy of Mark Kurlansky’s Cod, which chronicles the downward progression of the mighty cod species, beginning with the massive catches off on the Grand Banks, modern day overfishing and the virtual disappearance of the species. With the return of the book, John cautioned: “We have to make sure the Atlantic salmon doesn’t go the way of the cod.” In conserving the Atlantic salmon, Dr. Anderson forged closer ties among several players who had not always seen eye to eye: the finfish aquaculture growers, the research community and the salmon anglers on both sides of the US-Canada border. Fittingly, the title of the book he authored in this period was The Salmon Connection, published in 2007. He never really retired and spent many active years at his Coveside property just outside Saint Andrews with its spectacular sunsets and endless renovations, entertaining countless visitors. Coveside was a magnet that drew his children grandchildren from around the world. He was an avid handyman and was adamant that the house Sylvia and he moved to in St Andrews be a “fixer-upper”, providing multiple projects such as repairing roof shingles well into his 80’s, no doubt an alarming sight to onlookers. He continued as project manager and “agent in the field” until last year, overseeing the day-to-day construction of three new homes in St Andrews for his children. He maintained an office at the Atlantic Salmon Federation that he visited daily, working until he was no longer physically to make the trip earlier this year. He will long be remembered for his community work and fundraising throughout Charlotte County, including the Fundy Community Foundation, the growth of Huntsman Marine Science Centre, and numerous scholarship foundations. As one of his children states, their father discovered in mid life the joys of being “an absolutely awesome” grandfather. With his grand-children living in far flung corners of the globe, John took a passionate interest in their activities. After a big game, the phone would be ringing and a young sports enthusiast would receive a question from Grandfather: “How did the game go?” His interest extended, as well, to other young people achieving successes and making their mark. John was known as an “encourager” who urged students, colleagues, friends and young family members to stick to whatever path they chose, and succeed. One beneficiary of his interest said “his appreciation for one’s efforts inspired confidence.” Funeral arrangements are being handled by Humphreys’ Funeral home, St Stephen, NB. A Memorial service will be held Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 2 pm, All Saints Anglican Church, 77 King Street, St. Andrews, NB. Reception to follow at the church hall. In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to The Huntsman Marine Sciences Centre or the Fundy Community Foundation, two charities dear to John’s heart.
