I read with interest the article "The Importance of a Personal Pledge," in which Tara Hoke refers to the Canadian Corporation of the Seven Wardens and Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer. Her description of the Quebec Bridge collapse in 1907 is fairly accurate but is in no way associated with the creation of the Canadian Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer and the Corporation of the Seven Wardens. In 2005,I had interesting correspondence with Suzanne Leckband, RE., a longtime former member of the Order of the Engineer's board of governors. My letter of November 7, 2005, is reproduced below. It is a bit lengthy but provides some clarifications that are appropriate.
