Bishop, Lincoln, 1905-1979 : Lincoln Bishop was born in 1905. He received his high school education in Ottawa and his Bachelor of Arts in Education from Antioch College in the United States. After graduating, Bishop worked at several jobs before accepting employment with the Canadian Congress of Labour (CCL) in 1944.
