collector Ron Walker and his milling machine<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. When Ev became editor of Photographic Canadiana<\/em>, he began changes that pushed our journal into the area of a true magazine. Each issue had an index of contents. Small items of interest to collectors peppered his column “Editor’s Notebook<\/em>“. Articles covered the society activities: talks, meetings, fairs, auctions. Formal columns were established for the President’s Message, Book Reviews, Toronto Notes, Coming Events, Photographic Museums etc..<\/p>\n

Ev recognized that collectors and collecting varied widely and the collectors were our life blood. In that spirit, his newest column, “Meet The Collector”, was established. In issue 19-2 the chosen collector was the late Ron Walker who collected \u00a0both Zeiss cameras, and various old Microscopes. Ron also enjoyed repairing the old microscopes.<\/p>\n

Ev begins, “It’s very easy to meet this collector. Just come to the Gold Room on the third Wednesday of each month. There, Ron and his wife, Joan, graciously supply refreshments which are a highlight of each meeting.<\/p>\n

“Ron was born in England. When he was three months old his family immigrated to a Saskatchewan farm. In the tranquil countryside Natural History became a focus for his inquiring mind and when he learned to read, our colleague became a devotee of the writer Ernest Thompson Seton.<\/p>\n

“At the age of twelve Ron acquired his first microscope and a Voigtlander Brilliant camera, beginning a life-long interest in science and optics in particular.<\/p>\n

“After high school graduation in 1939 the young naturalist enrolled at Queen’s University, Kingston. and was completing the pre-medical course when WWIl intervened. Ron became a pilot in the RCAF, logging many hours in Hudson and Dakota aircraft. …”<\/p>\n
