Gord Hunter displays his book, “No-Badge Killock”, during his presentation at the Southeast Regional Library in Carlyle on Oct. 22.
Kelly Johnson The Observer Gord Hunter, who is the author of the book, “No-Badge Killock”, was at the Southeast Regional library in Carlyle on Tuesday, Oct. 22 doing a promotion for his book. He made a presentation of his time and experiences in the Canadian Navy, which was followed by a Q & A session. Gord was born in Grand Mere, Quebec. His family moved when he was a teen to Ste. Anne de Bellevue, which is just outside the city of Montreal. Like many young men, his interests were not in the classroom. He left school to enlist in the Canadian Navy. He joined the service just prior to the Cuban Missile Crises and his eight-year adventure on the seas of the Atlantic began. After leaving the navy he moved to Calgary where he did landscaping until entering Mount Royal College. He studied Communication Arts and upon completion, this succeeded in him getting a job in radio with CHFM-FM Calgary. He also worked for CBC television Delay Centre at the time of the Anik satellite deployment, which brought major changes to communications in that day and time. He again moved to the city of Montreal, once more finding employment at CTV, this time in television as a video tape editor. He then joined the trade union movement where he spent the next thirty years of his life. Gord now lives in Regina and he makes mention of the lovely sunny fall day he is enjoying travelling to Carlyle. Having retired he began a blog and here he found that discussing the days of his service in the navy of great interest to others. This was the motivation he captured to write his book, “No-Badge Killock”. He tells me the book is available online and is very popular with ”old retired navy guys”. It was a very different era then having now seen the changes in services and technology that have come to the navy. In his talk he speaks of the Cold War and its effect it had on Canadians and the world. He recalls the cold waters off the east coast and the chill of the ocean air. He tells of his deployment on navy frigates and his continued duty at sea on naval destroyers. They were the cadillacs of the fleet and the food was far superior aboard the destroyers.
