We regret to advise of the death of Robert Donald Christie, unexpectedly but peacefully at the Ottawa Civic Hospital on Friday, 9 December in his 80th year. Bob was a long-time civilian member of Mapping and Charting Establishment and the Union of National Defence Employees representative for many years. He was a strong supporter of the unit throughout his life.
Bob was a photogrammetrist trained on most such equipment at Mapping and Charting Establishment and specializing in the Wild OR-1 Orthophoto Mapping system. In 1965 he received a Departmental Suggestion Award for the simultaneous plotting of a full manuscript and colour separated scribe sheets on the Wild B-8 plotter. He was a longtime photographer and member of the Mappers Club.
