50th Anniversary Memory: Zahir Dhalla (BSc 1981)

Professor Carl Gottlieb (the 'Father of Computing' in Canada) taught us a course on the economics of computers. During breaks, there was always some group of students with topical questions for him. One time he commented: Whatever you do, you have to be good at it. Over the years, this homily resonated with my efforts to become good at one and many things.

Thank you 'Kelly' (as he was known to friends). RIP.
 

After Graduating 

I went on to become successful as an I.T. professional, the last 17 years of which as a freelance consultant. Along with my first degree in mapping science (U. of Nairobi, Kenya 1973), I was also successful in the world of G.I.S. (Geographic Information Systems).
