Recalling Scots mourning for the thousands fallen at Flodden Field on 9 Sep
1513, Flowers of the Forest is the name of a pipe tune and a later poem, and
now is traditionally used for a roll of clan members who have gone on before.

With sincere sympathy to Helen (Sinclair) Rowe of Kingston, Ont.

Robert Ernest Sinclair
It is with sadness that we report the death of "Bud" Sinclair
of Halifax, N.S. He was born at Goshen, Guysborough Co., and served
in the WW II from 1939-45 in Ontario, India and Burma. For some 23 years,
Bud was district service manager for Ford Canada, retiring from that
position to become manager for East Coast Salvage until his death. He was
a member of the Masonic Order and the Scottish Rite. Surviving him are his
wife, Lillian, four sisters (all are or have been members of our
association): Mrs. Christy paton, Mrs. Lena Smith, Mrs. Grace Trueman
and Mrs. Kathleen McClelland as well as several nieces and nephews. Burial
is at Goshen Cemetery.
Dr. Hugh Macdonald Sinclair
Although not a regular member of our Association, as such, we have in
recent years become aware of this renowned nutritional scientist and have
had a little correspondence with him. His death at Sutton Courtney,
Abingdon, England has been an occasion for many distinguished scientists
to pay tribute to him for his creativity in research and vision,
particularly with respect to human nutrition.
He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, a great-grandson of the Rt.Hon.
Sir John Sinclair, the great British agriculturalist. His University work
was done at Oxford and his connection with Oxford never really ceased.
In WW II, Dr. Sinclair was deeply involved in nutritional research to help
point the way for sustaining the people of Britain and the recovery of
Europe's starved populace. He was a modern day genius of whom Sinclairs
everywhere might well be very proud. A tribute to him from two colleagues
says:
"As founder and Director of the Oxford Nutrition Survey, Dr. Hugh
Sinclair helped to win the Second World war on the home front. As founder
and Director of the International Nutrition Foundation, he became the world
leader in understanding the vital importance of essential fats to human
health. Inspiration to generations of distinguished scientists, loyal
friend, original thinker, his deep knowledge, sharp with, great intellect,
and brilliant writing and speaking make him one of the great scientists of
our time."
