- Blair Ripley was born at Oxford, Nova Scotia on August 29, 1880. In 1901 he became Assistant Engineer at the Canadian Northwest Irrigation Co. in Alberta and over the next 11 years he worked as a construction engineer for Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan overseeing grade revisions and the building of viaducts including the Lethbridge Viaduct. More information on his engineering on the High level Bridge can be found in "Canadian Pacific Railway High level Bridge at Lethbridge", by Dr. Alex Johnston., When these projects were completed he was sent by C.P.R. to Nova Scotia to oversee the Dominion Atlantic Railway's replacement of bridges on the Bay of Fundy. In 1912 Ripley was appointed Engineer in Charge of Grade Separation, C.P.R., North Toronto. In 1916 he was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the Canadian Railway Troops raised for railway and bridge construction work at the front. He earned the Distinguished Service Order while overseas and, at the close of the war, he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Blair Ripley died in 1958. Penrose Melvin Sauder, 1882-1971, joined the Lethbridge Northern Irrigation District in 1920, was project manager from 1925 to 1939 and official trustee of the district, 1939-1965.

- History / Biographical
- Amateur radio, also known as ham radio, is the use of radio frequency spectrum for non-commercial exchange of messages. The activity was subject to international regulations and standards and required a license. A ham radio operator was required to obtain a call sign to legally identify oneself on air. Individuals sent personalized QSL cards to one another after they had made radio contact. A QSL card is a written confirmation of either a two-way radio communication between two amateur radio stations or a one-way reception of a signal from an AM radio, FM radio, television or shortwave broadcasting station. QSL cards (1950- 1962) were collected by Edward “Ed” Redekopp as a ham radio operator. Redekopp was interested in electronics and radio servicing and he was fascinated by the ability to contact other amateur radio operators around the world, including operators who didn’t speak English. At first, he communicated by key code (Morse code) and later by microphone. When asked about his hobby and its abrupt end in 1963, he said, “I had a family to look after, a job during the day, and it was too much – I spent too much time on the air, on the radio. I’d be up sometimes in the night, very rarely, but up to four in the morning sometimes, talking to Australians and New Zealanders. Well, as a working man, I had a family to look after, they needed attention.” QSL cards were donated in drawers. Cards in Drawer 1 are in files 2017.1045/008-014. Cards in Drawer 2 are in files 2017.1045/003-007. For more information about Edward “Ed” Redekopp and his hobby please refer to interview – P20180010001-006
