KROBOTH,
Josef
By Walter Michael
KROBOTH,
Page
A20
Artisan, husband, father, "opa," dedicated employee, winemaker.
Born January 8, 1929, in Oberradling, a village on the border
of Austria and Hungary. Died September 29, 2005, in Toronto,
of cancer, aged 76.
Sitting still was something that Joe
KROBOTH rarely did.
I cannot recall a time when Joe did not have at least one project
in the works. He designed and built the family cottage, his home
was well maintained, his garden was immaculate, and every autumn
he made wine.
The importance of hard work, responsibility and resilience was
something Joe learned early in life. Growing up during the Great
Depression and the Second World War, his day consisted of farm
chores before school and assisting his father, the village shoemaker,
in the evening.
Near the end of the war, women and children were evacuated from
the village, but Joe stayed behind to help his father protect
family property. He witnessed hand-to-hand combat and helped
dig graves and bury the dead.
At 17, Joe left home to attend trade school, becoming a master
shoemaker and winning a top prize for his hand-stitched shoes.
A true artisan, Joe would later tell me that his skills were
honed during his youth, when his father would disassemble his
work and make him redo it until the workmanship was exact.
By the 1950s, Joe was established in his trade but looking for
opportunities in North America.
In October, 1954, he emigrated to Canada and settled in Toronto,
where Hurricane Hazel had just devastated the city. Joe's first
job was with a clean-up crew. He went on to do piecework at a
shoe factory but the job did not allow him to be a craftsman.
Frustrated, Joe travelled to Kapuskasing, Ontario, with a friend,
to secure work as a lumberjack. The logging-camp foreman initially
turned him down because he said Joe -- at 5-foot-5 and 138 pounds
was too small to handle the work. Joe asked for a chance to
show his stuff.
Utilizing a vice-like grip and sinewy strength, along with the
ability to handle logging tools, Joe quickly felled and bucked
a tree. He got the job. For nine months, Joe worked dawn to dusk
six days a week, saving enough money to later start a business
and put a down payment on a house.
In 1958, he married Josefa
STEBEGG and the two went on to open
Joe's General Shoe Repair in west Toronto -- and start a family.
By 1964, however, it was clear that the shoe-repair business
was no longer viable. With three children, Joe opted for the
security of a factory job. For 30 years, he made medicinal products,
never missing a day of work.
Despite life's challenges, Joe always maintained a sense of humour.
The consummate family man, Joe enjoyed skating and tobogganing
with my sisters and me and built us a tree house and a playhouse.
Joe also became a doting grandfather, making rocking horses,
with hand-carved faces, for my two daughters.
Despite being a smoker since his teens, Joe never lacked energy
or endurance. In 1988, a friend and I helped Joe build a septic
system at the cottage. Each man had to dig a trench. We were
29; he was 59. A couple of hours into the job, Joe took a cigarette
break so we could catch up.
After retiring in 1994, Joe stayed active helping neighbours
with projects, further solidifying his reputation as a handyman.
A day before he passed, Joe told me that he felt a little "tired"
and would need help making this year's batch of wine. Not surprisingly,
he never stopped thinking about his next project.
Walter is Josef's son.

John Creighton
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS,
Engineer: (1924-2006)
Unsung hero of Canada's Imax success story knew how to make the
big-screen technology work
By M.J. STONE,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S9
Montreal -- He was the man in the engine room of the good ship
Imax.
John
Creighton
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS was an engineering guru, a genius
at tinkering who was the brains behind making the Imax corporation's
giant-screen technology work as well as it did. Years before,
he was the wizard who helped keep Expo 67's Labyrinth film project
going. And when it was all over, Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS went back to his
first love -- the humble train.
In the meantime, his other passion remained electronics. As a
teenager during the Depression, Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS's future in telecommunications
was foreshadowed when he plied his talent for radio repair in
the small town of Sutton in Quebec's Eastern Townships. Neighbours
and customers paid 25 cents to have their wonky Radiolas,
RCA
Victors and Silvertones tinkered back into working order.
At 18, poor eyesight disqualified him from serving in any of
the Canadian armed forces during the Second World War. At the
suggestion of doctors who advised he spend less time in libraries
with his head buried in books, he worked for a year with the
Canadian Pacific Railroad and then enrolled at McGill University.
It was while earning his degree in science that he met his wife,
Althea McCOY, a likeminded student who became his life-long collaborator.
They were both involved in the McGill drama department. Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS
was in charge of lighting and his future wife was the costume
co-ordinator. Their initial collaboration at the McGill Red and
White Revue revealed a symbiotic relationship that would often
find the couple working side by side."The smartest thing I ever
did was to marry him," said writer and archivist Althea
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS.
"Creighton was my favourite proof reader and copy editor."
The couple married in 1948 and the following year he departed
for a career in the Quebec wilderness repairing radio transmitters
for Canadian Marconi. He later travelled to England, sent by
Marconi, to study the emerging world of television.
When the couple returned to Canada, Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS began demonstrating
the principles of television at trade fairs. With both of them
operating a camera, the duo wowed Toronto audiences at the Canadian
National
Exhibition in 1950. Althea
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS recalled how aiming
the camera at the crowds delighted visitors, who, through closed-circuit
monitors, discovered themselves on television for the first time.
Commercial television was still a few years away and she lays
claim that the experience at the Canadian National Exhibition
made her Canada's first female operator of a television camera.
Mr. DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS's cutting-edge knowledge of the new medium resulted
in work as a consultant with the Canadian Broadcasting Company
when it first went on the air in 1952. Later, he returned to
Canadian
Marconi as the engineering manager for Montreal's
CFCF
radio and in 1961, he supervised the construction of a television
transmission tower. Erected at the top of Mount Royal, it broadcast
the first television signals when
CFCF-television at last went
on the air.
Regarded as a technical genius, Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS was the go-to person
hired by the National Film Board of Canada to orchestrate the
Labyrinth project for the 1967 world's fair in Montreal. A multiscreen
film, In the Labyrinth, was a smash hit at Expo and is considered
the precursor to today's large-format films. Using a complicated
projection system with three synchronized viewing chambers, it
featured stereo sound and a mirrored maze.
Colin Low, the National Film Board of Canada's former head of
animation, said that Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS possessed the right mix of flexibility
and vigour necessary to handle the madness that In the Labyrinth
inspired. "A lot of things, we had never tried before. Creighton
was intrigued by it. He made it work. Labyrinth was one of the
starting points for Imax technology."
Imax was a revolution in the movie industry. What made it arrestingly
different was the sheer size and crispness of the projected image,
combined with resonant, multitrack sound systems. No matter what
the subject, watching can be viscerally intense -- a fact that
directors have exploited with roller-coaster intensity ever since
the first Imax title, North of Superior, lit up the media. The
format uses the largest film frame in movie history, 10 times
the size of conventional 35-mm film. The screens, too, were oversized,
as tall as eight storeys.
The system was the brainchild of five Canadian visionaries who
toiled for more than a quarter of a century to make Imax Corp.
a household word in entertainment. Graeme
FERGUSON,
Robert
KERR,
Roman KROITOR,
Bill
SHAW and Bill
BREUKELMAN founded Imax and
pioneered the giant-screen, large-format film medium before selling
the technology in 1994 to a group of American investors for about
$100-million (U.S.).
All the same, few knew the system better than Mr.
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS. In
1981, Mr. DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS found himself in France supervising the installation
of a new generation of Imax screens. His final Imax project was
to co-ordinate the installation of the company's theatre at the
Museum of Civilization.
In retirement, he returned to the much less complicated technology
of locomotives, and the tracks they travelled down. His interest
also left its mark on his marriage, for his wife possessed railway
roots of her own ("My father worked for the Canadian National
Railway," she said), and together they co-wrote Canadian Railway
Records: A Guide for Genealogists, a resource for families with
rail connections going back about 150 years.
The DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS manual, composed for family historians, offers tips
and resources for recovering historical records of family members
via ticket sales and the vast network of railway payrolls, journals,
magazines and subsidiary companies. In the introduction, the
couple wrote, "this book has been a joint effort but we each
have our own areas of expertise. Creighton wrote much of the
material on the railway way of life, working conditions and so
on. Althea did the archival work checking documents and bibliographical
data and wrote about libraries and archives so, inevitably, on
occasion we wrote in the first person singular and at other times
in the first person plural."
Mr. DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS also added a consumer warning: "The railway offers
such a variety of intriguing information and experience that
there is some aspect that will intrigue almost everyone." In
other words, railways are highly addictive and can absorb all
your free time and available money.
John Creighton
DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS was born on August 15, 1924, in Cowansville,
Quebec He died of a congestive heart failure on February 6, 2006
in Ottawa. He is survived by his wife.

Rita died of lymphoma at age 75 on March 14, 2006. She was a

Rita

research contributions on the etiology and treatment of anorexia
nervosa together with medical staff at the Saint Paul's Hospital,
and she wrote an article on some medical aspects influencing
the life of Queen Elizabeth I. A high point of Rita's life was
her service as a lay member of the British Columbia College of
Physicians and Surgeons. Her love and keen intellect provided
inspiration and support for the education and careers of her
children. Rita's life was full of love, which she experienced
and gave with great intensity. She had infinite love for her
family. She thrived in the presence of her children and grandchildren.
Her other loves included her Friends, reading, libraries, music,
cooking, Chinese food, walking on Jericho Beach, Paris, the city
of Vancouver, and trying to understand how the world works. Throughout
her illness Rita and her family were grateful for the many expressions
of love and support they received, and for the exceptional care
from health professionals, especially Doctor Joseph Connors who
helped her in every possible way for 10 years, Doctor Susan Harris,
Dr. Beverly Spring, home care nurse Pat Richardson and others
