Souvenirs of Buster Doubleday adapted for the web Jan. 2007
My memory of Buster Doubleday is pretty
thin. He was part of Monitoring staff in the fall of 1941 and he was
Ed Davey's right hand man. He was about 50
years old and it seems to me that he had experience as a Radio Op on the Great
Lakes boats.

Buster retired as the Kingston District Manager in March of 1974. I moved there from Corner Brook to replace him and Jack Whitaker was the Supervisor of spectrum . We worked together until 1977 when I replaced Jack Brown in Toronto office. I saw Buster on a regular basic during the three years in Kingston (74-77). He was a good Rotary Man as I remember. He would never buy Coffee and one of the pranks I played on him when he came into the office to visit was to make him pay for the coffee ha ha . After leaving Kingston in 77, I lost contact with him. Jack tells me he is long long gone but do not know the year that he died. He had family in Kingston and stayed on there after and into retirement. You might google his name and perhaps could contact a child if you are interested in knowing more. The other person who would know lots about Buster is Lorne Greenwood who was his boss. Oh yes Jack said that Buster was in charge of the Kingston (3 persons) office when he went there in 1959. So he was there 1959-1974 Gerry Brushett - Oct 2006 
Buster Doubleday was the manager of Kingston
when I first came into the Ontario region from Winnipeg as the Inspector in
Charge at Kenora Ontario.
He was quite a nice fellow and since I really
didnt know any of the rest of the guys Buster went out of his way to make me
feel welcome.
