Today would have been his 144th birthday
Albert Einstein would have been 114 years odd today, however, the man subject to the human condition died on April 18 1955 at 76 years.
Said: No matter how often you are right the public will always remember your errors. A popular divergence was that the medical examiner stole his brain. However:
Brain
Whether or not Einstein’s brain was preserved with his prior consent is a matter of dispute. Ronald Clark’s 1979 biography of Einstein states “he had insisted that his brain should be used for research and that he be cremated.” More recent research has suggested that the brain was removed and preserved without the permission of either Einstein or his close relatives.[7]Hans Albert Einstein, the physicist’s elder son, endorsed the removal after the event. However, he insisted that his father’s brain should be used only for research to be published in scientific journals of high standing.[4

Our friend Bob passed from this life on December 5th in his one hundredth year. He had danced on a table cloth on the floor at the Florentine, assisted living home, last May for his birthday (a concession from a vow, no table). Bob served in the Commonwealth Air Training Plan in the second war and was one of the Craigmont mine managers.
The mine operated in Merritt from the 1960s to recently and produced a billion lbs of copper, and supplied magnetite to coal operations in Alberta after underground operations ceased.
Bob was a man of integrity and fairness and enjoyed a long career in the mining biz and was active in the Public libraries programs, attending lectures last November. He was a contributor to the well-being of the community here and the world. KDG
