Abstract: | I first met Bob and Jane Irving as a graduate student at Minnesota in 1960, where we were assigned to the interstate highway project that John Borchert was then undertaking for the Minnesota State Highway Commissioner. After finishing his dissertation at Minnesota, Bob spent some time on faculty at the University of Manitoba before moving to Waterloo, where we renewed our acquaintance in 1969, just as he assumed the Chairmanship of the Department of Geography. In 1970, he served as Councillor on the board of the CAG. |
