not a writer hes a mendit from brougham more accustomed to molding metal to machinery than words to sentences nevertheless bob has written a book not a waferthinairw after but a substantial volume of 400 pages or so that is scheduled for release in october ontario village of brougham past pre sent future iieatly stitched bound and delivered will for its author represent 6 years of research countless hours spent accumulating sorting and sifting through data jotting down and writing up frustrating lapses in a literary effort that might never have started had he anticipated the demands it would make on his time a man whos running a business shouldnt be writing a book he advises shaking his head over a backlog of work in his village mendit shop the decision to write a brougham history was made understandably in centennial year when most citizens in a spurt of nationalism helped revive the pioneer spirt of their communities like many residents in the area bobs and his wife ferns pioneering decendents left a legacy of documentation written and pictorial relating to their generations as a centennial project bob suggested at a community meeting that everyone should write a story on village life from their own family histories the idea was never adopted it became instead a per sonal project with pen not too confidently in hand but brougham securely at heart the hopeful historian started by- culling information from his own and his wifes family trees papers and a diary belonging to mrs millers grandmother brown who operated a store in the village provided invaluable material bob third generation of a family who first started farming on cone 7 pickering twp in 1839 also sorted through photographs taken by his mother who owned a camera back in 1904 a constant aid in his research and inspiration to keep on with the project over the past 6 years has been his motherinlaw mrs howard malcolm sr an elderly lady with a retentive mind and colorful recall of the past she could bob claims write the book herself because she knows more about brougham than anyone else expanding the scope of his research he gathered data from other brougham families the john phillips diary and museum archives provided excellent references dr nelson tomlinson of claremont who tended patients in the community for many years was also a great well of information and willingly reminisced for bobs benefit more than 350 photographs and remes of documents were gathered and closely examined over the 6 years to verify facts to the authors satisfaction vne quality of this research was given a first class rating by a knowledgable acquaintance who was asked for an opinion on preliminary compositions but bob candidly remarks he told me the writing needed a good deal of fixing up the fixing up is being done by mrs ray- miller who is editing his copy bob also credits mrs elsa storry for giving advice on his material and john grosart a retired prin ter for assistance
