from May 30, 1945 BC Forestry paper
In this issue we take the opportunity to pay tribute to R. E. Allen, District Forester at Nelson, who retired on March 31st this year.
His successor is an old friend, R. C. St. Clair.

Robert Emmett Allen was born in Nevada, 67 or 68 years ago' he is not sure which.
Part of his formal education was received at a Roman Catholic Mission near Colville, Washington, an old Hudson's Bay post.

Later, he crossed the Line into Canada, and in doing so changed his nationality, religion, politics and horse. When as a youth and temporarily broke,
he got a job washing dishes in a hotel at New Denver, in the Slocan country, but his father kicked him out and told him he would drown him, if he couldn't get a better job than that.
He has been washing dishes for Mrs. Allen ever since.

With his father he packed and handled a mail line in the Slocan Valley. He worked as a public works road foreman and had Sid Leary,
afterwards Minister of Public Works, and Charlie Haddon in his gang.

Bob Allen's first appointment With the Forest Service was on May 1st, 1911 as Patrolman. In 1912 he worked as Divisional fire guard at Revelstoke, along with Charlie Haddon.

In March, 1915 he received his permanent appointment as District Forester at Hazelton.
In December 1919 he resigned to go into the lumber business with Olaf Hansen,
Since Federal M.P. for Skeena.
He couldn't forget his old love though, and rejoined the Forest Service in September 1926, as District Forester at Prince Rupert.

On April 1st, 1950 Bob was transferred to the same position at Kamloops, and on January 1st, 1952, to Nelson.
He has seen communications grow from pack trains to aeroplanes from telephones to radios, from trails to highways, and his salary from $4.00 a day to not enough.
He started his career in this district (the Slocan) and finished here, and he rightly thinks that it is one of the most beautiful parts of the Province, if not of the continent.
