FLOWERS OF THE FOREST
MONTGOMERY, Margaret Laura
Many thanks are extended to Wendy S. F. Ross, Donna J. Hill, Ian M. Ross, J. Donaldson Ross, Eldred Cook and Ed Swinton and others for informing us so quickly. On a personal note, Margaret and Wendy were the first members of the Clan Ross Association of Canada whom my wife and I met at at the Orillia Scottish Festival and AGM in 2000. We continue to be impressed by the quality of the membership wherever we go.

ROSS, David Robertson
We were saddened to learn of the death of David R Ross (Scottish Author and Historian) on Saturday, January 2nd of 2010 at the age of fifty-two. The Clan Ross Association of Canada expressed its sincere condolences to David's family & the Society of William Wallace, of which he was the convener. Our thoughts and our prayers were sent to all. I thank our Clan Ross Canada president, Andy Thibodeau, for emailing an obituary notice after David's funeral.
The photo above was taken at the tent of Clan Ross Canada at the 2006 Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games. I treasure his books: On the Trail of William Wallace, On the Trail of Robert the Bruce, and For Freedom - The Last Days of William Wallace. David paid a visit with his daughter a year or so earlier and we were most impressed. In early March of 2008, David wrote that he had just finished a new book on the Black Douglas, a hero from the Scottish Wars of Independence, and that he was making a program for the History Channel in North America, entitled "Warriors".
