SIDNEY ROOD
ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
After 31 years of government
service in Alaska, Joseph Sidney
Rood, known affectionately by his
Alaskan friends as “Sid” plans on
retiring May 26.
Rood joined the CAA (now FAA)
in 1951 as a realty assistant after
a career with the government
reaching back to 1929, during
which he learned much about rein
deer culture.
Prior to 1929 Sid spent several
summers in Alaska working at the
various fish canneries and helping
with fish traps in the Ketchikan
area.
As a reindeer supervisor for the
Department of the Interior from
1929 until 1936 he managed three
different large districts, centered
around Bethel, Unalakleet and
Nome. He then became acting chief
of the reindeer service, and in 1940
started a five-year term as head
of the service. In 1946 he was asked
by the Canadian government to
check its reindeer management. All
this service has made him an ex
pert on the complicated question of
the “domesticated caribou.”
Sid and his wife, with their two
St. Bernard dogs, plan after his re
tirement to live in the Yukon Ter
ritory of Canada about 85 miles
from Whitehorse. They expect to
build a cabin on one of the lakes
which feeds the Yukon River in
this vast and isolated area. “The
gravel beaches, clear water., and
large pine trees make this a desir
able location,” Sid remarks.
“Having lived in the Eskimo and
Indian country sc long without
comforts we don’t think we will
need many now. We realize the
work and effort required just to
exist, but we feel it is rewarding
; to do just what pleases you.”
Every day may be the dawn of
a new grs^ blit St it fssis
more like the morning after.
