Innis and I were students in residence at the University of Kings College in Halifax in the late 1950’s. It was after Innis told me about Frontier College that I decided to sign up. It turned out to be a life-altering experience. In this interview Innis makes important reference to this organization and I am sure it had a profound impact on him.
As for me, it led me , after two summers, one on a railway gang and another on a construction project in northern Manitoba, to a greater appreciation of our country and the people whose hard work we take for granted.

Kit – At Christmastime this year, I discovered that a family friend of ours, Geoff England, was your grandfather’s co-author and close friend. I recently read a very touching in memorium that Geoff wrote about him, and felt that indeed, he must have made quite an impression on all those who knew him.

I am Innis Christie’s eldest granddaughter. It was an excellent privilege to be raised under his opinions and ideas on how we could achieve anything with some hard work and patience! He was an exceptional man and he will be missed.

Great response Emma! You make some excellent points, in particular, how we have to tell our employers what we can do, rather than just waiting for them to figure it out. I just may have to forward this to my supervising partner…. We’re an interesting tag team!

I definitely think we need to incorporate a local association, even if it’s just a “downtown” chapter. Here’s to some action for a change!

A great post, Emma. It was helpful to know your Carswell rep’s suggestions for keeping things running smoothly, even something as simple as her preference for account number/firm name in the subject line of email orders.
Good luck!
