Editor Note: These notes were added by Phil Barrett. "The young lady sitting beside Bill Walker in front row is ?? Patenaude. She was a beauty - well the three of them were in their own unique way. Ms Patenaude was in training as a
vocalist and joined the CBC in the seventies - gave concerts all over Canada but haven't heard of her for several years . I think her first name was Jean. Her father was a S/L Admin Officer with Construction Engineering Branch on Vic Island in the late 50s and 60s. The gal in the middle was a French Cdn lass who barely spoke English and understood less. She , of course was supposed to be bi-lingual. I used to prepare the assesments for signature by Bill McCallum (in the late 50s) and on hers I remarked on her poor progress in learning the English language and recommended she be given special training (there were some English courses available). Bill signed it after discussing it with me and next thing I knew I was on the mat with personnel. The other gal was very buxom and drew many stares and ogles during coffee break in the canteen. Nobody would give her a second look today but in those days.........!!!"
