ONTAMO Young Bowm anville Man Learns He Has a Brother Locates Hlm in Lindsay Are cable family reun- Ion okceSaturday, April 19th in L ,wben. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Musen, o! R. R. 1, Little Britamn, entertained Mr. and Mrs. Don Whillans, a! Bow- manville. What made the meeting so remarkable is the fact that Don and Fred are brothers but did not kno* it until last Tuesday. "We're 'sf111 stunned by the Wihole thing," tbey told The Examiner in Lindsay Saturday. ,,,Neiherofus knew the other *1 exis ted." The joyaus reunion resulted fron the finding by Don of a letter written by the Lindsay legal firin o! Weldon and Lacey to bis adoptice parents in 1929, the year he was born. 13 Foster Homes Since that time, Don bas been in 13 different foster homes and institutions and neyer had the slightest idea be had any fan- ily o! bis own.

"I don't know bow ta explai n the feeling I have right now," be added. "One day you have no relations and the next day you have the whole world in your hands."' The Mussen boys' mother was separated fran their father the year Don was born. After be was adopted, the mother left for England taking Fred with ber. The father's wbereabouts are not known. Raised In Englani! Fred was raised mainly by bis grandmother in England and returned ta Canada several times. At the outbreak o! the Second World War, he Joined the Canadian army in England and eventually married an English girl. After the war, he came back ta live in bis native Lindsay where he works with the Con- sumers' Gas Company. Now 31, he bas five children-Barry, 12; Ross, 9; Martin 7; Ricky, 3½ý, and Denise, one. Don, too. served in the army but did nat go averseas. He later married in Bowmanville and now bas a boy, Ian, aged 8, and a girl, Sheryl, 6. He is! emploved in Bowmanville by Houadille Industries Limited. Unfolding the remarkable story of the invcs'.gations which led ta the discovery o! bis bro- ther, Don said be was musing through a pile o! old letters and documents when be came upon the one written by A. T. Lacey, surviving partner of the firm of Weldon and Lacey. This was the first hint be ever bad o! bis true origin. Telephones Lawyer Thrilled ta know that, after aIl, be had had a family like everybody else, Don got an the 'phone ta Mr. Lacey, who in- vited hlm ta came up to Lind- say. Right next day he was here. Mr. Lacey looked at the letter Don bad braugbt with hlm and within minutes he was able ta produce from the firm's arch- ives File No. 134 containing the other documents relating to the Mussen fanily. Fron. these, Mr. Lacey was able ta supply the address: 68 Adelaide St., where Mrs. Kath- leen Mussen was living at the time Don was barn. Becoming more excited wlth every new revelation. Don has- tened ta Adelaide St., but could find no trace a! bis kitb and kmn at No. 68. But he did not give up there. Instead, be stayèd araund to talk to saine o! the aider residents o! the street. Remembers Mother Soon be met a M&s. Hicks, wbo said she remembered Ka- thleen Mussen. Wben be tald ber he was Mrs. Mussen's son, Mrs. Hicks replied: "Then you must be Freddy." Don told ber he was not and Mrs. Hicks said: "lWeil, if yau're not Freddy then you've oa brother in town." goa With that, the trail grew botter and It was nat long un- tii Fred was tracked down ta the Consumers' Gas Company. Exactly tbree haurs and 20 minutes after he arrived in Lindsay, Don walked up toaa street excavation wbere gas company employees were lay- ing a new pipe. He recagnized bis brother straigbt away andi called ta hum: "If you want tau meet your brother get out o! that bale." Freddy got out of the hale and 10 minutes later he was asking bis boss for permission ta quit a littie abead o! time. This, o! course, was readily granted once the boss heard the reason. In-Iaws Meet Don returned ta Bowman- ville Tuesday but was back here Saturday with bis wife and family sa that ahl the in- laws could get acaiuainted. Now the boys are planning a trip ta England ta meet the mother Don bas neyer known. But one thing Don bas not yet decided - whether bie will change bis present naine back ta the famnily naine o!
