KENNEDY A PERSONAL REMEMGRANCE I first met Clyde 15 years ago at a public lecture he gave to students at Car- leton University on archaeology in the Ottawa Valley. From that time Clyde has been instrumental in my development as an archaeologist. He provided my first field experiences beginning with voluntary work involving survey and ex- cavation of sites along the ftadawaska and Ottawa Rivers, continuing with spon- sorship of an Opportunities for Youth program concentrating on the excavation of Marshall's Bay-1 and Sawdust Bay-2 sites on the Ottawa River, and finally with the identification and survey of old Champlain Sea shorelines in the Ot- tawa Valley. In addition to these and other field experiences Clyde took an active interest in my academic development willingly sharing ideas on a broad range of topics including a variety of heritage issues, geology and palaeon- tology. He graciously furnished me the Sawdust Bay-2 collection for analysis, providing the basis for my M.A. thesis and offered numerous helpful suggest- ions in his thorough editing of the study. My experiences with Clyde left me with a tremendous appreciation for his com- mitment to heritage interests, in particular concerns in the Ottawa Valley, his keen interest in the natural sciences and his great sense of humor. Clyde's involvement in heritage research and planning in the Ottawa Valley ex- tended over 35 years. His archaeological work included the identification and excavation of the Morrison's and Allumette Island sites, among the more sig- nificant Archaic sites in northeastern No·rth America, excavation of the Mont- gomery Lake site, a survey of Algonquin Park, and survey and excavation of sites in the middle reaches of the Ottawa Valley. His interests spanned the Palaeo Indian, Archaic and Middle Woodland periods and on the historic settle- ment of the region. Clyde maintained an active role with the Ottawa Valley Historical Society and was one of the charter members of the Ottawa Chapter of the o.A.S., serving as cf:)apterpresident for a number of years and as editor of the Ottawa Archaeol~fst. He served as vice chairman of one of the early archaeology committees of the Ontario Heritage Foundation. His appointment as a research associate with the Archaeological Survey of Canada was a source of great pride to him. Clyde's interest in the Ottawa Valley extended to its geology and palaeontolo- gy. His many expeditions up the valley always included regular visits to ac- tive sand pits, remnents of Champlain Sea beaches, in search for whale bone. His perseverance paid off in the fall of 1977 with the discovery of a lower mandible of a bowhead whale in the Hanson sand pit near White Lake, Ontario. Clyde's humor was always a welcome source of levity. Following a presentation to the Ottawa Chapter of field research in Georgian Bay by Jim Wright, Clyde asked if Jim had found any Blackduck ceramics in his survey prefacing his re- marks with an outline of Ken Dawson's contention for the extension of Black- duck pottery into the Ottawa Valley. Wright responded asking Clyde how Dawson could propose such a distribution, Clyde cheerfully retorting "with a type- writer r guess". A favorite story Clyde liked to recount is of a bull cooling himself on a hot summer day by rolling in a freshly exposed square producing considerable a- mounts of large intact sherds. Responding to the suggestion by the farmer that the Dull could De discouraged oy a stick, Clyde indicated that there wasn't one long enough. Clyde's boundless energy and unquenchable thirst for knowledge will be deeply missed. His passing will leave a tremendous void in provincial heritage ac- tivities as well as in the Atomic Energy of Canada community. I will cherish the time shared with htm and hts family and always remember his commitment and contributions to a broad range of heritage interests in the Ottawa Valley and his own impact on my education as an archaeologist.

Daechsel McMaster University please phone CHARLES GARRAD 223 ~752 As a member of the Society you will have by now received some form of corres- pondence from me about our new vol unteer program "Passport to the Past". The program is coming along well and we have generally had positive feedback about it. The program has 2 main aspects. The first is the actual passport docu- ment which is about the same size and colour as a current Canadian passport. The document contai ns pages ~Ihich the vol unteer wi 11 hopefully fi11 up with pertinent details of work accomplished in archaeology on a project by project basis. The site supervisor, workshop leader or equivalent will then acknow- ledge the volunteer's contribution by signing and stamping the passport entry. The stamps will be the property of and issued by the O.A.s. The passport should encourage neophyte archaeological enthusiasts but should not discourage those who have volunteered their services for years. I see nothing wrong with retroactively entering work accomplished, providing the supervisor is willing and able to remember that far back~ The second element of the program is the computerized file of volunteers. This will be an up-to-date list of persons who are willing to devote a por- tion of their free time to the pursuit of archaeology. Volunteers will be asked to fill out forms stating, among other things, when they are available, in what geographical areas they would like to work and what time of the day they can be reached. The user agencies ("employers") will be able to access this file when they require staff. Hopefully, this arrangement will go a long way toward streamlining the situation of "available work" and an "eager volun- teer pool" which may not always find one another. To assist with communication there will be a toll-free telephone line which may be used to access the computer file of volunteers and to keep volunteers informed of opportunities. However, we hope to put out a newsletter before the digging season and at other times of the year with details of excavation, lab and other volunteers required on sites allover the province (and beyond?). The possibilities for this program are boundless but nothing will happen with- out enthusiasm and input both from those seeking volunteer opportunities and those will ing to provi de them. There wi 11, of course, have to be a fee to cover the cost of all these innovations. At present it is set at $10.00 with $5 of that going toward the cost of the passport and a $5 administration fee. We hope that this program will be a great success. It is nothing new in the ~orld of archaeology as a whole but I think that it will definitely fill a gap ln archaeology in this province. O~ another note, we have applied for special funding for a computer. The O.A.s. wl11 , upon recei pt of the grant, be 1ifted from the dark ages. We predi ct that the unit will help us produce an even better ARCH NOTES as well as streamline our business procedures. Lastly, it is with deep regret that I must inform you all of Clyde Kennedy's death late last month. Clyde was a member of the Society for 35 years and one of the founders of the Ottawa Chapter. The ranks of members who were there tn our earliest days as a Society grow thinner every year. Clyde was alwa~s enthusiastic and an unflagging supporter of archaeology. His untimely passlng leaves us all with a strong sense of loss.
