This was a gathering of Nielsen bigwigs from around the globe, including The Big Wig, himself, A.C.Nielsen (front and centre). Though I’m in the picture far left, I was not a bigwig—I was EVP Trav Hill’s assistant at the time.

Toronto/CASA Conference

Nielsen had moved into this new building at 39 Wynford Drive in Don Mills a couple of years earlier from 2434 Yonge Street (now a West Elm), where I had joined them in early 1961 as a junior clerk in the Checking Department. During my 9 years with them, I was a Computer Programmer, a Department Manager, an Executive Assistant and, at time of leaving, a Personnel Officer.
