Julien Olson, one of our deeply supportive and enthusiastic Ottawa-based radar veterans, led an entirely different sort of career following the war. In this Ottawa Sun article, from December 28, 2015, Julien shares his memories about working on the 1950-51 renovation of 24 Sussex as a young architect with the Dept. of Public Works.
Michelle joined us in September through an internship program at Western University. Very quickly she made herself at home and has become an integral part of the curatorial team. Eager, dedicated, creative, and responsible, Michelle has continued work on an unfinished virtual exhibit initially researched and written by a previous intern. This includes editing segments of oral history from our archives, and sourcing photographs and artefacts. Her time with us has had her researching equipment necessary for the EMC Grant digitisation project, and digging through the collection for cool things to put on our Twitter. In a pinch, she can even give a tour. Michelle finishes with us in early December, but has promised to come back in January.
Thanks for all you do, Michelle!
