Abstract :
This personal history by Alan Love provides us with a deep insight into what people experienced in World War II, and the growth of technology since that time. I think it is interesting to note that Alan´s introduction to our field came through his experiences in amateur radio. Indeed, many of our pioneers in the AP-S came down the same path. It is also interesting to note that Alan Love is another native Canadian who came to this country to work in his professon. He is a member of an illustrious group, which includess Jim Wait, Ed Jordan, George Sinclair, and others, who have added so much to our profession.
