Paul Moynihan and Ray Legge first met over 25 years
ago, during Legge’s early years as a Waterloo Engi-
neering Professor. Ray taught one of Moynihan’s
courses, and served as supervisor for his senior
design project. Their early days together at Waterloo
would prove to be the beginnings of an enduring
friendship.
After graduating Moynihan headed west to the oil
patch, on to his MBA, and finally founded his own
investment banking firm. Moynihan and Legge kept in
touch all the while, despite the long distance and the
long years. Recently, Moynihan and his wife Colleen
both honoured and surprised Legge. They recognized
Legge by contributing to the commemoration of his
office, which graces the halls of the new E6 building.
O ce donation for Ray Legge
In June 2012, a plaque was unveiled outside
room 2024 in Engineering 6 to commemorate
the work of Professor Jim Ford, who passed
away in February 2008. Professor Ford, a spe-
cialist in heat transfer and solid-gas reactions,
taught chemical engineering at Waterloo from
1959 to 1961, and again from 1964 until his
retirement in 1995. Serving as the department’s
associate chair of undergraduate studies many
years, he is remembered as an empathetic role
model and coach. Under the leadership of
Norman Lockington and Barry Kemble, the
chemical engineering class of 1973 raised funds
to name the second floor undergraduate semi-
nar room of the chemical engineering building in
his honour.
