Hello Jock,

I just wanted to add to your memory list of people connected with the Stelco research centre, as I saw on your blog, etc. I remember you from the past when I started my career at Stelco R&D as a junior investigator (doing math modeling stuff) in 1982. I was only with the centre for 8 months, but during that time I had a great time learning the steel mills and processes at Hilton Works, as well as some engaging projects at the centre. I had met many people and participated in lots of sports (baseball and curling to mention a few) with the R&D staff. Although I got laid-off among other new people that were hired that year, I had fond memories of you and others helping me get funding for continued education at U Waterloo (i.e. I did a thesis related to simulating slag slop control of the BOF). I did regret not working again at the R&D centre, but I will not forget the experience of working there and the help that paved a bold path for my career.

Thanks for the memories, and hope you have a great and active retirement.

Best Regards,
