Truus joined the National Library of Canada's Union Catalogue division in1973, after receiving her M.A. in Library Science from the University ofOttawa. A year later, when the MultiLingual Biblioservice (MBS) wasformed, she became head of its cataloguing section. She assisted in theplanning of this new service and in processing a vast collection ofmaterials in over 30 languages. Truus was a well respected librarian, whoalso had a command of several languages -- Dutch, German, Spanishand French -- as well as some knowledge of Ukrainian and a number ofother languages. She retired in 1984, still full of energy and vitality. Truus (De Graaf) Plaskacz was born in Hilversum, Holland. She and herhusband, Bohdan Plaskacz, from Ukraine, lived in Spain and Belgium forseveral years before immigrating to Canada in 1951. They spent someyears in the U.S.A (1960-1969) and then returned to Canada for the restof their lives. Truus and her husband, a linguistics professor at the University ofOttawa, loved nature and lived on a farm outside Wakefield, Quebec,where they raised Arabian horses. Truus was a dynamic, outgoing person, who cared passionately about herwork, loved books and libraries, and set high standards for herself andothers. Her retirement was a rich one, filled with grandchildren, traveland her beloved choir. Predeceased by her husband, Truus left two sons and two daughters, allmarried, and 10 grandchildren. Her presence will be truly missed, especially at the regular gatherings ofthe MBS alumni, which she attended faithfully. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Council of Federal Libraries.
