At [Tom Manning]'s memorial service, [Andrew Hall Macpherson] described Tom as quiet, knowledgeable, well suited for working in the Arctic, being vigorous and confident, patient and painstaking, imaginative and resilient. I believe that Andrew shared all of those attributes. Andrew demonstrated his skill as an administrator and his ongoing willingness to take on new challenges, making hard and unpopular decisions when necessary. However, he had another side that reflected his whole being: he was loyal to his friends. I myself was the beneficiary of his allegiance at two pivotal points nearly a decade apart in my deciding whether to stay with or leave CWS. One of the best examples of this loyalty to his friends was his rescue of Tom Manning when Tom went missing in James Bay in late March 1969. Tom's party had landed their helicopter on an ice floe to immobilize a polar bear. Murphy's Law, ever present in the Arctic, kicked in: the helicopter engine cooled down too much and refused to restart. The ice floe cracked right under the helicopter, and they had what [M'Clure] would have called a perilous moment in the Arctic! After they were overdue back at Fort George, the Canadian Forces Search and Rescue Hercules looked for them without success, though it had unknowingly flown right over them. When Andrew heard that Tom was missing, he immediately flew up to Fort George to join the search. In Fort George, Andrew searched the room where Tom and the pilot had been staying, because he could not believe Tom would not have left word of their destination. He found a note indicating that they planned to work near Bare Island. Then Andrew flew out, together with Beaver pilot Derry Tozier of Fort George, and found the stranded party on the shrinking ice floe. The Beaver pilot made a skillful and dangerous landing on the floe and taxied near the helicopter. It is said that when Andrew got out of the plane and Tom saw who it was, he said, \"Hello, Andrew,\" as though they had just dropped in unannounced for tea! There is no doubt that Andrew Macpherson was by anyone's standards a highly intelligent, successful, personable, humorous, and inquisitive person. However, an additional measure of success in life, which is hard to obtain and especially difficult to retain regardless of one's personal ability, is managing to keep one's perspective, ordering priorities for the greatest enjoyment of life. Andrew appeared to be quite successful at keeping his priorities right! Perhaps his greatest demonstration of this was staying in the west, where he believed his family had the greatest quality of life. Had he been willing to sacrifice that for a coveted position in the minister's office, I have no doubt he would have made it there. A small, more specific example occurred in the late 1970s. The Minister's Office had sent out one of its urgent demands to all of the regions for the compilation of statistics from each of the agencies under Environment's umbrella. It required the involvement of many people, and each regional director had ordered his underlings to comply. As the Director General of the Western & Northern Region, Andrew was responsible for seeing that all of his service directors produced their compilations and had them to his office in time for a synthesis of their collective efforts to reach Ottawa by the following week. When I reached his office for a prearranged lunch date, Andrew asked me to wait, as he had a matter to deal with before we left. Just then, one of his lieutenants walked in. Andrew Macpherson was born in Hampstead, London, England, on 2 June 1932, to Dorothy Hall Macpherson of Swansea, Wales, and Hamish (James Ewan) Macpherson of Edinburgh, Scotland. His father was in the British Army during World War I, then stationed in India, where he became an administrator in the Indian Forest Service. When civil service jobs were reorganized, he decided he would have better prospects in Britain for both work and eventual family life, and he became a small manufacturer in London. When Andrew, his mother, and his sister left Britain in 1940, his father elected to stay behind. Andrew's mother, Dorothy Hall Macpherson, had a long and distinguished career with the National Film Board in Ottawa, later founding the Canadian Centre for Films on Art, where she was the liaison officer between the National Film Board and the National Art Gallery. Her promotion of the use of films in art education earned this lively and witty woman admission to the Order of Canada. Andrew's sister, (Jean) Jay Macpherson, published two books of poetry (Governor General's Award, 1957), and taught English for 40 years at Victoria College, University of Toronto.

Her husband, Alexander MacPherson, died in 1976. She leaves two sons, Alan B. MacPherson of Big Pine Key, Fla., and Andrew J. MacPherson of Boylston; two daughters, Judith A. MacPherson of Evansville, Vt., and Nancy J. Skeates of Oxford; two brothers, Stanley and William Grigas, both of Worcester; two sisters, Jennie Breault of Pascoag, R.I., and Joanne Marculitis of Worcester; six grandchildren; nephews and nieces.

Retired Cape Breton Post reporter John Campbell remembers the good work done by [Donald H. MacPherson] and the committee of fellow steelworkers in tracking the people who worked at the coke ovens and documenting the causes for their illnesses. Campbell said MacPherson pioneered the research on linking various illnesses to the steel plant and in particular the coke ovens. He was concerned about the injustice done to his workmates and former coke ovens workers who had died as a result of working at the coke ovens without proper pollution controls.

Police Chief Dave Arcieri said his officers \"did everything they could\" to find Gibson's relatives -- the son lives about four miles from the crash -- but they were unsuccessful immediately after the accident. \"His (the victim's) telephone was destroyed,\" Arcieri said. The chief said his officers went to the senior Gibson's apartment, but were unable to find anyone who could direct them to a relative. They also talked with patrons at Jan & Lib's Hi-Tops Lounge, 319 N. Ridgewood, where the victim had been earlier in the evening, but to no avail, he said [Duane Gibson] said he learned about his father's death by telephone at 10:30 a.m. Friday from the manager of the Edgewater Park Apartments, where his father lived. Manager Janet Gilbert said she did not understand why officers never asked her whether she had any information about his family. \"Edgewater police have not talked with me yet,\" she said.

Also surviving are her parents of Bloomington; one son, Corey Fortney, and one daughter, Cassandra Fortney, both at home; one sister, Karen Kemp Golden, and maternal grandmother, Ruth Alvis, both of Bloomington; her father- and mother-in-law, Nick and Judy Fortney, Punta Gorda, Fla.; two sisters-in-law, Lisa (Doug) Shaw, Bloomington, and Lori (Bob) Downer, Chandler, Ariz.; three nieces; and two nephews. Visitation will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday at Kibler-Smith Memorial Home, Bloomington. The funeral will be at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at Trinity Lutheran Church, Bloomington, with Pastor Allen Steinbeck officiating. Visitation will be one hour prior to services Tuesday. Interment will be at East Lawn Memorial Gardens, Bloomington. Surviving are her husband, Bloomington; two sons, Ken Hawkins \"Seki Kenji\" and Tyson Hawkins \"Seki Taizo,\" both of Bloomington; and one daughter, Erika Hawkins \"Seki Erikamari\" of Savoy. Also surviving are her parents, [Seki Hiroshige] and Seki Chigusa of Matsuyama, Japan; and two sisters, Suga Hiroko (Suga Kunio) of Takarazuka, Japan, and Seki Yoshiko (Seki Keizo) of Matsuyama, Japan.

If [Les MacPherson] is referring to the research conducted by Michael Alderman, he failed to mention that Alderman is a consultant to the Salt Institute. The methodology of Alderman's study has been cast in considerable doubt by other scientists. Statistics Canada conservatively estimates that Canadians, on average, ingest more than double the recommended amount of dietary sodium. Consumers get almost 80 per cent of their sodium from processed foods such as bread, soup, prepared meats, cheese and restaurant foods.
