I met Mel at the Pembina Exchange when I was a Central Officeman with MTS. Mel was the PBX manager working out of the Pembina Exchange. I will always remember Mel for his sense of humour and being the best dressed telephone guy in the building. RIP Mel, it was a pleasure knowing you. - Posted by: Andrew Dolenuk (Former MTS employee) on: Feb 11, 2015
