A 26 cm tall, wooden, hand-carved moose presented by Local 1568, Technicians and Technologists Union, to Walter Woytowich on the occasion of his retirement from Chalk River in 1976. Walter was one of the early technicians in the Physics Division at CRNL and one of the very first to retire from “paid employment”. He continued many private ventures after his retirement. The moose is carved out a single piece of ~35 long white pine by Hubert Klatt of Pembroke. Hubert was a long-time carpenter at CRNL and retired just before Walter. The Klatt family was well-known, nationally and internationally, for splendid wood carvings and similar carvings were presented as gifts to Canadian dignitaries such as Pauline McGibbon, former Lt. Gov of Ontario, former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and former Ontario Premier William Davis. The moose was donated with a 20 cm by 30 cm photograph of the carver in action.
