Biographical history

Milton Watts worked for the federal Department of Transport from 1950 to 1987. His early career included postings in Smith River, BC; Cambridge Bay; Medicine Hat; and Edmonton. He was Officer in Charge of the aeradio station in Norman Wells from August 1958 to May 1959. In 1959 he was promoted to Regional Office Radio Technician, a job which included maintenance, installation, and construction of radio systems in a variety of locations, including a number of former Royal Canadian Corps of Signals stations which had been handed over to the Department of Transport. Later, Mr. Watts coordinated the installation of electronic systems in the new Calgary airport terminal, and eventually ended his career as the Regional Supervisor of Technical Administration and Construction.
