Bio/Historical Note: Madge McKillop was born in 1918 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. She obtained her early education at the Moose Jaw General Hospital of Nursing and completed her bachelor of nursing at McGill University. During World War II McKillop was a lieutenant in the Canadian Army Nursing Service, serving four years in Canada, England, Europe and North Africa. She was stationed at No. 13 Canadian General Hospital in England where her brother, Flight Officer Duncan McKillop, recovered after being shot down. She moved to No. 20 Canadian General Hospital, the hospital her brother was eventually released from. Upon her return to Canada, she worked at the Royal Edward Chest Hospital in Montreal. In 1964 she left her position as director of nursing to become the nursing administrator at University Hospital in Saskatoon. McKillop served as president of the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association from 1969-1971. She was in the 1980s the Saskatchewan representative of the National Advisory Council on Aging. McKillop was appointed chairperson of the Saskatchewan Senior Citizens’ Advisory Council in 1990, and was also chair of the Grants Committee of the Saskatoon Community Foundation.

Bio/Historical Note: Having lost both parents and an older brother during the conflict and typhus that swept Mennonite colonies during the Russian Revolution in 1919, Dr. Jacob G. Rempel (b. 1903) and his brother David (b. 1899) emigrated to Canada, arriving in Rosthern, Saskatchewan, in July 1923. They spoke German, some Russian, but no English; and had the equivalent of $1.25 Canadian in funds. By 1928, however, Dr. Rempel had secured a three-year scholarship to the University of Saskatchewan, from which he graduated with the Governor General's Gold Medal and high honours in Biology in 1931. He joined the Biology department that year as an instructor and earned his MSc by 1933. He took a leave of absence in 1936 to attend Cornell University, earning his PhD in 1937. He remained with the U of S for the rest of his career, becoming a full professor by 1953 and being named Rawson Professor in 1962. Dr. Rempel retired in 1970. He made lasting contributions to science in several research areas, beginning his career with the study of the midge Chironomus hyperboreus in Prince Albert National Park. This led to work on chironomid (fish fly) taxonomy. Dr. Rempel then turned to biting flies: first to the ecology and control of blackflies, which adversely affected cattle populations; and then to mosquitoes, which were vectors of the virus causing the western equine sleeping sickness (encephalitis) which occurred as a pandemic in the late 1930s. Dr. Rempel closed off his distinguished research career with classic studies in insect embryology. He studied the development of the bertha army worm, two species of beetle, and the black widow spider. His last major contribution, The Evolution of the Insect Head: The Endless Dispute, was published a year before he died (1975). It clarified an issue that had elicited twelve different theories. Dr. Rempel contributed more than fifty publications. He won many honours. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1956, and received the Centennial Medal in 1967 “in recognition of valuable service to the nation.” In 1971 he received the Gold Medal of the Entomological Society of Canada. Dr. Rempel was president of the Entomological Society of Saskatchewan and of the International Conference on Diseases of Nature Communicable to Man. He also served for ten years as associate editor of the Canadian Journal of Zoology, and for a similar period on the Advisory Panel on Entomology of the Defence Research Board of Canada. After his retirement, he moved to Victoria, but remained active in research until just before his death on 30 May 1976.

Bio/Historical Note: Margaret H. Pattillo was born in Truro, Nova Scotia, on 27 June 1916. She received her teacher's certificate from the Nova Scotia Normal School, then enrolled in Acadia University, obtaining her B.Sc. (Home Economics) in 1938. Following her service with the RCAF Women's Division during World War II, Pattillo joined the University of Saskatchewan (1946) as Instructor in the Department of Women's Work. She earned her MSc. H.Ec. from Michigan State University in 1951 and was promoted to Assistant Professor (1951) and Associate Professor (1957). She held various positions, including serving as Executive Director of Saskatchewan Association of Homemakers' Clubs/Women's Institutes. In 1979 the Canadian Society of Extension presented Pattillo with an Honourary Life Membership in the Society for her distinguished service to Extension Education, and she was inducted into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame on 12 August 1990. Pattillo retired from the University in 1981, and died on 12 October 1990 at the age of 74. She is buried in Robie Cemetery in Truro, Nova Scotia.
