Notable people edit

I deleted the following information from notable people. They might deserve their own articles and if someone wants to do it, the info is all here:

Robert Fulton Logan (1889-1959), A painter, illustrator, and specialist in copper etchings. There is some conflicting information about Mr. Logan but the most detailed and presumably most accurate is the following bio on the Saskatchewan Council for Archives and Archivists

"Widely acknowledged as one of America's greatest architectural etchers of the early twentieth century, Robert Fulton Logan was in fact a Canadian. Born in Manitoba, Robert Fulton Logan received his first art lessons in Winnipeg under Frank Armington. At the age of sixteen he enrolled at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, then at the Chicago Art Institute. Logan first journeyed to France during the First World War as an officer in the American navy. After the war, Robert Logan accepted the position of director at the Bellevue Art Training Center, in Paris, and also taught classes at the Louvre. He remained in Paris for almost twenty years. During his career, Robert Fulton Logan created over one hundred architectural etchings of scenes in France, Germany and Holland. The first important one-man showing of his etched art was held at the American Chamber of Commerce, Paris, (1922) and then at annual exhibitions at the Galerie Marcel Guiot. On his return to the United States in 1934, Logan accepted the position of Chairman of the Department of Art at Connecticut College, remaining there until his retirement in 1954. Robert Logan was a full member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the National Arts Club (1922) and the Société internationale de la gravure originale en noir (1921). Today, examples of his original etchings are housed in the collections of the British Museum, London, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Cambridge University, the Bibliothèque nationale, Paris, the Museum of Luxembourg, the Metropolitan Museum, New York, the Library of Congress, Washington, and the Smithsonian Museum."

Gordon G. Phillips (1927-1992) Graduated from the University of Manitoba with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He moved to Ottawa where he helped design and build the Alouette communication satellites. In 1965 he went to work in the Canadian Patent Office. Gordon wrote several books including the following:
- The Rise and Fall of a Prairie Town : a history of Lauder, Manitoba, and the surrounding district
- Payload Packaging Design - Alouette Satellite
- Patents of Nova Scotia : pre Confederation, 1834-1869
- Index of Inventors and Inventions for Canadian patents, 1824-1872

The Lauder history was published progressively in five volumes between 1973 and 1978. In 1991, Phillips updated his work with a sixth volume. With a few exceptions, the individual family histories were written by members of those families. At the 1991 Lauder Centennial celebrations, the six volumes were sold as a single 736 page hard bound book. The source material is preserved in the National Archives in Ottawa.

Anyways, like I said, if anyone wants to created the articles, the info is there. Masterhatch (talk) 14:29, 6 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
