Mrs. Georgia Lee West Allen, 91, left this world on Thursday, April 13, 2017, a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother, caring sister, sister in law and aunt. She was born May 18, 1925 in Detroit Michigan, third of six children of Winnie Harp West and Herbert West who later moved to Algood, TN where she graduated from Algood High School. She met and married Albert Allen on November 24, 1943 in Ringgold, GA. They moved to the family farm off Freehill Road where they built their first home on a gifted tract of the Allen Family’s farm where they lived out their lives. There they raised four children, John, Mary Lee (Jr.) Brown, Jimmy (Joyce Davis) Allen and Jerry (Vicki Knight) Allen all of Cookeville. She is survived by her sister Mildred Simcox, sister in law Nellie West and sister in law and brother in law June and Junior Vickers and a host of nieces and nephews in the Algood, Cookeville, Knoxville, Nashville and Mt. Juliet areas. Albert and Georgia Lee were married 61 years when he passed away in 2004. Mrs. Allen is survived by six grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren.

Her fried dried apple pies annually were the top auction sales item at the Upper Cumberland Quilt Festival Auction topping out last year at $325 for a Baker’s dozen. She loved her family and nothing pleased her more than having any and all of them put their feet under her kitchen table for a meal along with their friends and co- workers. When the twins started to school she went into the factory at McCord to help educate all four children. She later moved to work for Big K/Walmart and retired from Walmart after 19 years of service.

  • The Calgary Lancaster FM-136 Is Now Owned by Lynn Garrison but Never Registered in the Name of the Air Museum of Canada, and Never Transferred to the City of Calgary
    The First Vintage Flying Wings of Canada at Calgary, Alberta Research by Clarence Simonsen The Calgary Lancaster FM136 The preparation for the long ferry flights of the surplus P-51 fighter aircraft from RCAF storage areas in Western Canada, spurred Garrison into the idea of saving a World War Two Lancaster bomber aircraft. The words of Garrison tell the true story of finding and saving FM136 for Calgary. Source http://www.bombercommandmuseum.ca/photos_lanc/photos_fm136.html "Before Milt Harradence and I began to ferry the Mustangs, we first visited the old RCAF Station Macleod facility, now used by Canadian Pacific Airlines Repair for storage and maintenance. We drove to Macleod on a Saturday afternoon 1960, my 23rd birthday. It is an emotional thing to visit an abandoned airfield that once was full of life, noise, and activity. Now, the silence was only broken by the constant whisper of the wind in the popular tress, the flapping of loose metal against a hangar wall and grass growing through breaks in the parking ramp, and abandoned runways. One segment of the hangar door system was open two feet and we squeezed into the area where our Mustangs were stored. Our Mustangs were nested beneath the large wings of Lancaster bombers, and a couple of Auster fuselages sat wingless against the back wall. Our Mustangs would be saved to fly another day but the B-25s and Lancaster Mk. Xs faced the final extinction, turned into cookware or aluminum siding for new homes It was this moment I decided to save a Lancaster Mk.

  • Haitian Ex-Minister Freed from Jail 19 Jun 2006 Reuters by Joseph Guyler Delva
    Haitian ex-minister freed from jail 19 Jun 2006 Reuters By Joseph Guyler Delva PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, June 19 (Reuters) - Haitian authorities released a former government minister who was jailed for more than two years on murder accusations, and they could soon free other high-profile prisoners who served under former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a prosecutor said on Monday. Jocelerme Privert, Aristide's interior minister, was released on Friday after a prosector said there was no evidence of wrongdoing. Privert said he was a victim of a political conspiracy by the U.S.-backed interim government of former Prime Minister Gerard Latortue, who was installed after Aristide was ousted in an armed revolt in February 2004. "Thanks to God I am free now after 26 months of political persecutions and injustice," Privert told Reuters and radio station Melodie FM. Privert was arrested on April 6, 2004, and jailed on accusations that he was the mastermind behind what Aristide's opponents called a massacre on Feb. 11, 2004, in La Scierie, a small village near the northern town of St-Marc. Privert has denied the accusations. "I spent all this time in jail just because there were authorities who wanted to have their political revenge," he said. Former Prime Minister Yvon Neptune and a former legislator from Aristide's Lavalas Family party, Amanus Mayette, are among others held on similar accusations and expected to be released. A prosecutor working on the case has demanded that an appeals court dismiss the charges for lack of evidence. The court has yet to rule.

  • 14 March 1945 the Training of RCAF Wireless Air Gunners During WWII
    Calgary, Alberta, 16 Sept. 1940 – 14 March 1945 The Training of RCAF Wireless Air Gunners During WWII Just before midnight on the 16 December 1939, a small group of V.I.P.’s joined Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King in the signing of an “Agreement Relating to the Training of Pilots and Aircraft Crews in Canada.” Mackenzie King had dragged out the negotiations for days and in fact the delegates from United Kingdom and New Zealand had already departed for home, their signatures would be added later. Our Canadian Liberal Prime Minister wanted the document signed on 17 December, which was his birthday, as certain numbers, the things he saw in clouds, calendar dates, and even the straight line on the hands of the clock held special messages to Mackenzie King. On paper the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan official began on 29 April 1940, but in fact it would take ten to twelve months to construct new airfields, train flying instructions and ground personnel, plus find all the necessary equipment including the required RCAF aircraft. The overall administration and control of the plan remained with the Canadian government, with special advisory boards from Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, who met monthly and had a voice in the total operation. The large scale of the B.C.A.T.P. provided hundreds of new challenges to both the RCAF, civilians aviation agencies, and many branches of the Canadian government. The Department of Transport picked 231 sites across Canada for the construction of 107 major training school airfields, while other municipal airports were leased, then modified to meet the demand for new training standards.
