3n m emoruitn Robert Alton Emerson 1911 - 1966 Bob Emerson was born in the C.P.R. station at Plum Coulee, Manitoba, on April 12, 1911, and died in Montreal, Quebec, March 13, 1966. He completed his elementary and high school education at Plum Coulee, and entered college in Winnipeg when he was 14 years old. At the age of 19 he graduated as gold medallist in Civil Engineering from the University of Mani¬ toba. In 1936, Mr. Emerson entered the service of the Canadian Pacific Railway as transitman in the engineering depart¬ ment at Vancouver. Later he went to Regina to occupy the same position. Then he went to Deloraine, Manitoba, as the youngest roadmaster ever to hold that position with the C.P.R. Next he was transferred to Virden, and then to Brandon as division engineer. From there he was sent to Moose Jaw; then to Vancouver as assistant district engineer, and later district engineer. From Vancouver Mr. Emerson was transferred to Montreal as engineer of track for the railway system. He then became assistant chief engineer, chief engineer, and vice-president in charge of transportation and maintenance. Next he was promoted to senior vice-president, and in October, 1964, he was appointed president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. May your son’s life of service be a comfort to you, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Emerson, and an inspiration to us as students and staff of Garden Valley Collegiate. “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away”, Job 1:21. 1
