Bio/Historical Note: John Aitken Mills was born on 4 June 1931 in Manuden, Essex, United Kingdom and emigrated to South Africa in 1946. He graduated from the University of Cape Town with a B.Sc. in Geology and Geography in 1951 and was awarded an M.Sc. in Geology in 1953. In 1958, he returned to the University of Cape Town, completing a B.A. (Hons.) in Psychology in 1961. The University of Cape Town awarded him a Ph.D. in Psychology in 1965 for a thesis entitled "The Recall of Connected Discourse." In 1963 he married Ann Newdigate. In 1966, he was appointed an Assistant Professor at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon Campus, becoming an Associate Professor in 1969 and a Full Professor in 1974. Initially, he continued his research on verbal memory. Then, in collaboration with Professor Gordon Winocur, he opened the new laboratories in the Department of Psychology in 1967 and worked on neuropsychology and on learning in rats. He then shifted his interests to psycholinguistics and, eventually, to the history of psychology, where he worked on eighteenth and early nineteenth century Scottish philosophy and the history of behaviourism. In the latter field, his work culminated in a book, Hard-Nosed Psychologists: A History of Behavioral Psychology (New York: New York University Press). Professor Mills served on numerous committees including the Interdisciplinary Studies Committee of the College of Arts and Science in 1969-1972 and 1979-1981. He played a decisive role in creating the Linguistics Program and was its first Chair from 1970-1975. He served on the executive of the Faculty Association and was vice-chairman from 1985-1986, and in 1988 co-ordinated the faculty strike. In 1998 he retired from teaching at the U of S but continued his research and writing as a Professor Emeritus of Psychology and with an adjunct professorship at the University of Calgary. New York University Press published his book, Control: A History of Behavioral Psychology, in 1998. Mills died in 2012 in Comox, British Columbia.

She moved to Saskatoon for Grade XI and graduated from Walter Murray Collegiate, where she once won five events at the school meet. McTaggart also started to compete on behalf of the Saskatoon Track and Field Club. She was named to Canada’s national track team in 1972 while in Grade XI.

In her rookie year with the Huskies, she won conference championships in the 40 yards and 300 metres. That same year she was Western Canadian Junior Champion in the 50 and 200 metres and the Canadian senior indoor 200 champion. McTaggart won 10 conference titles in her four years with the Huskies, highlighted by a world record performance of 38.2 seconds in the 300 metres at the 1975 indoor CWUAA (CIS) meet in Edmonton, Alberta. McTaggart qualified for the Canadian team at the 1975 Pan-American Games, won a bronze medal in the 4x100-metre relay and half an hour later, was invited to run the 4x400-metre relay where Canada held off the Americans and the Cubans to win the gold medal. At the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Joanne competed in the 200 metres and finished fourth in the 4X100-metre relay.
