    50 Years Ago ~ 1963
    The Village of Middleville has secured a place in the White House in Washington, D.C. Its representative is an old rocking chair, estimated to be about 123 years old, once the property of the late Jean Rankin. The chair was sold by Mrs. Donald Somerville, who resides in the former Rankin home, to the McKendry Antique Shop in Perth. There it was picked up by an antique buyer, who gave it to his friend, Prime Minister Pearson, who was going to visit President John F Kennedy.

    Killed Aug. 28/42 age 21. #14 Operational Training Unit (Keep with the Pack), Hampden aircraft crashed. Please see Patry J.J. for casualty list and flight detail. Ex F/O.

    Bob Lumgair reported the following, "Dave and I were almost out of the gate heading for the locak pub when the tannoy (P.A. system) erupted with orders to do some circuit and bumps. I was supposed to go with Dave but went with another pilot. We would have been at the pub and out of reach for flying but Dave forgot his comb and had to back for it. He did have very nice hair and was a handsome guy. The night was foggy and we also crashed with F.S. Phillips (RAF) being killed."

    Sergeant Wireless Operator Air Gunner Brownlee is buried in the St. Nicholas Churchyard Extension, Cottesmore, Rutland, England.
