Page B2 ~ Terrace Standard, Wednesday, February 7, 1990 Contributed Kalum Forest district manager Gerry Dodd retired last week after a 39 year career most of which was spent in the Prince Rupert region. _ Gerry joined the service in 1951 as a clerk at the Prince Rupert ‘regional headquarter, The following spring, he went to Pendelton Bay on Babine Lake where, as dispatcher, he could be called upon to help out with field work such as logging inspections and fire fighting in addition to his normal clerical - duties. | In the fall of 1952 he returned to Prince Rupert, this time as a member of the cruising crew which travelled around the region helping districts with timber cruising and timber sale layout. Three years. later, Gerry began a stint as Assistant Ranger, first in Kitwanga, the Telelgraph Creek, Hazelton, Terrace, Prince Rupert, Ocean Falls and then back to Prince Rupert. In October, 1964 he was pro- moted to Forest Ranger for the Lower Post district on the Alaska Highway. This was the largest ranger district in the pro- vince — in. fact, larger than. some forest regions, He was on the move again two years later, going to Houston to take up the position of Forest Ranger in charge. An’ indelible memory from that period was the day he walked away uninjured from a helicopter crash, Next, in August 1969, came a transfer to the Elko Ranger Gerry Dodd district, his only posting outside the Prince Rupert region during his career, He remained there for four years before returning to Prince Rupert as Tanger suupervisor. ; Following the report of the Pearce Royal Commission which recommended the Forest Service be reorganized into a totally new. structure with dif- ferent goals and objectives, the Ranger District concept was - abandoned in favour of one of Forest Districts and managers. Gerry successfully applied for the job of manager of the Kalum Forest district, a post he held until his retirement on January 31, 1990. Gerry is married with two - sons, both of whom are pursu- ing careers outside of Terrace and the forest service. He and wife Nat plan to remain in Ter- r ace.
