All Pictures on all my web pages, are now Visibly Watermarked,

And some have all 3 !
All my pages are now Right Click, copy and paste, disabled.
If this unauthorized use of pictures from this site continues,
I will remove the whole thing,
as there is no point in keeping it online.
I ask everyone that enjoys free history sites,
to start policing these violations.
If we don't stop this, no one will donate pictures to me or anyone,
and we all lose.
If you see one of my pictures on facebook, etc.
tell them to remove it, if they don't in a reasonable time,
please email me the culprit,
and I will add them to my
Wall of Shame

Trust me,
I regret having to do this!
The SATT equipment added Toll Ticketing functions,
which enabled Direct Long Distance Dialing, and billing,
without going through an operator for each long distance call.
When the GTD5 electronic switch was installed,
it made this equipment obsolete.
The SATT equipment was located in half of the Toll Room
in the upper area of the Plant Center on Lazelle Ave.
Some of the folks that worked there were:
They had a female SATT operator also,
a first for BC Tel in Terrace at least,
Sandy Carlson
Lyle David (later went into Const, then moved to Kelowna)
Tom Wishlow was one of the early ones. (became a Supv. down south)
Scott MacKenzie (later became a Tech, moved to Vancouver area?)
Knox Hambly (reporter for the Busy Back)
Bob Cook
Martin McCabe
(left in 1980 to Trrc Eng)
Mark Grant
Bill Armstrong
Dave Stickle
Tom Bates (ca1969)
Stan Cook (was CO but think he became Satt later?)
Len
Weidenbruch (one of the better Arm Wrestlers in the area)
Guy Rushton was the Supervisor in 1969 to about Aug 1976
Guy was one of the Good Supervisors from that era, and since.
He was genuinely a nice guy.
I played many a floor hockey game with him,
and would list him in my top 10 Supervisors for sure.
His daughter Debbie Scarborough also worked for the company.
Guy later married an ex clerk from Terrace, Anita Shelton.
Guy passed away a couple years ago, in the Vancouver area.
Last Satt supervisor was Gerry Bakker.
Gerry came out of retirement in 2005 to work for Telus
during the four month Labour dispute with the TWU.
deceased Sept 18, 2016
Will add more names when found.
Knox Hambly was the FIRST Male Operator in Terrace
hiring on in Jan 1977.
