Compiler and Computer 4) Paul Gerard Radakir 1902-1971 Completing his formal education at the Collθge de l'Assomption and the Ιcole Polytechnique de Montrιal, Paul joined the Department of the Interior of the federal government as a draftsman in 1929. His co-workers of that era still remember his excellent penmanship. In 1930, he transferred to the Canadian Hydrographic Service, at that time under the Department of Marine and Fisheries, to make better use of his engineering background. A meticulous and methodical worker, Paul was employed for many years during his early career on the St. Lawrence River charting projects. He also undertook surveys off the Nova Scotia and Newfoundland coasts, as well as in Georgian Bay. For a few years he held the office position as head of the Chart Distribution office and senior hydrographer in the Nautical Geodesy Section. Returning to field duties, he was responsible for the complete charting of Lake Winnipegosis and commenced the survey of Lake Winnipeg. In addition to his office duties as officer-in-charge of these parties, he was given the additional responsibility of training many of the new recruits to the Service. As a training officer, he is best remembered for his helpfulness and his ability to instill enthusiasm for the task at hand. Following this, he assumed the position, at headquarters, of head of the Field Sheet Inspection Section, a job demanding thorough knowledge of hydrographic principles and methods for which he was well qualified. He remained in the position until his retirement in august 1967, with the exception of the 1962 field season when he was assigned the task of charting Lake St. John for the benefit of industrial boatmen and pleasure craft owners. From the time of his retirement from the Service, to within a few weeks preceding his death, Paul, who was fluent in English and French, served various organizations as an interpreter and translator. He was a talented violinist, but is probably better remembered as an able trumpet player with the brass sections of many local dance bands. He possessed a marvelous baritone voice and was a member of the well-known Department of the Interior all-male choir which, at that time, was directed by the distinguished Ottawa conductor, Cyril Rickwood. He was a featured soloist with this choir and was in demand as a soloist at many church functions. Paul was well known in local duplicate bridge circles. From his shipboard days, he is still remembered as a fearless "forty-fives" player and a cribbage player of some renown.

Surveyor commission and an Ontario Land Surveyor Certificate of Registration in
Hydrography. He started out with Central and Arctic Region of CHS in 1978 as a
Marine Cartographer, and in July 1981 he became a Field Hydrographer being
involved with hydrographic surveys throughout the Great Lakes, Hudson Bay and
the high Arctic. In 1987, he once again joined the Chart Production Division as
a Cartographic Supervisor. In 1990, he was acting Manager of Chart Production

Born in 1820, died 1900. Entered the Navy in 1833. After two years of service in the RHADAMANTHUS was appointed to the SULPHUR then proceeding on surveying duties to the Pacific and afterwards was constantly employed on surveying duties in all parts of the world. In 1845, he was promoted to Commander for gallantry in storming the forts on the River Parana. In 1852, he was appointed to the ASSISTANCE under Sir Edward Belcher, which vessel sailed together with the RESOLUTE, NORTH STAR, INTREPID, and PIONEER to the polar regions in search for Sit John Franklin and also for the relief of the ENTERPRISE and INVESTIGATOR which had entered the Arctic through the Bering Sea. In 1856, Richards commissioned the PLUMPER for the survey of B.C. and arrived at Esquimalt on 9th November 1857. In 1861, he transferred with his staff to the HECATE. The surveys of B.C. continued till 1863 when Richards sailed the HECATE back to England. In 1863, Richards was appointed Hydrographer of the Navy, a post he held till 1874. During the eleven years in office, Richards carried through many reforms. The examination of Masters and other navigating officers in pilotage, formerly carried out by Trinity House, was transferred to the Hydrographic Department. Possibly the greatest achievement of Richards career was the fitting out and launching of the CHALLENGER expedition under Captain, later Sir George Nares. There is no doubt that he was the prime mover in this great scientific expedition which still rates among the most important oceanographical surveys ever undertaken. 1856 H.M.S.

Roger Robitaille retired from the CHS Central
Region on March 31, 1997. Roger joined the CHS in 1970 and spent the first
seventeen years of his career in field surveys. In 1988, Roger accepted a
rotational assignment in cartography. He stayed in the cartographic section
becoming one of the regions first multi-disciplinary hydrographers. A landmark
for Roger was the publication in 1996 of his Chart 1435 Cardinal to/ΰ Whaleback
Shoal. This complicated, four-compartment chart of a heavily traveled portion
of the St. Lawrence River displays Rogers considerable cartographic
achievement. 1977 Eskimo Point survey (FS 3938) Stanley A. Robson

Ab joined CHS in June 1950, participating in a variety of surveys encompassing the Eastern Arctic, East Coast of Canada, MacKenzie River, NWT, Alberta and Ontario. During this time, Ab served on the CSS Kapuskasing, CCGS C.D. Howe, CSS Acadia, MV Theron, ships familiar to his colleagues, certainly names that excite memories of past adventures in far away places. In 1952, shortly after Ab joined the CHS, he was put in charge of the C.D. Howe carrying out reconnaissance surveys in the Eastern Arctic and Hudson Bay area. For the next eleven years, this was a part of Canada Ab was to become very familiar with. In 1967, Ab left the salt water behind and started the job of charting the fresh waters of the Ottawa River. In 1970, Ab moved from the Ottawa River with the establishment of Central
Region, currently referred to as Bayfield Laboratory for Marine Science and
Surveys, and made his home in Burlington. It was shortly thereafter that Ab
assumed his present position as OIC of Marine Information Centre and Field Sheet
Inspection while still acting as HIC on local surveys. The high quality of field
work can be credited to Ab's severe attention to detail and accuracy while
inspecting field sheets. 1950 - Hydrographer, KAPUSKASING, Labrador Coast 1965 - HIC - CCGS D'Iberville and John A. MacDonald - Eastern Arctic 1966 - Staff assignment, Central Region - On rotation from field work
