Here's how it's related to alt.religion.scientology: You recall how the cult has been trying to intimidate Gregg Hagglund through his family? When I read this obit, I wondered if cult shill Peter Ramsay and other similar loyal adherents of the criminally convicted cult realized that Mr. Hagglund was ill when they were trying to get at Gregg through him. Food for thought...

Anyway, judging by Mr. Hagglund's life and how his progeny have done in the world, this man was definitely on the right side of life.

I hope he rests in peace.

Cmdr. with the Canadian Navy (Weather Office, HMCS Magnificent) and with National Defence Headquarters. Returning to the Ministry of Transport, he served in increasingly senior positions, retiring as Administrator of the Arctic Transportation Agency in 1979. He later served in various consultative roles including membership on the panel assessing the environmental impact of the Toronto and Vancouver airports, with which he continued until 1989. His retirement years were enriched by friendships at the Highlands Golf Club, R.A. Curling Club and 410 Wing.
