Gerald (Jerry) Killingbeck, 89, and his wife Elizabeth (Betty) Killingbeck, 90, were married Nov. 27, 1943 in Peterbor- ough where they lived until moving to Ac- ton six years ago. Betty was in the Women's Army Corps (WACs) delivering a train ticket to a friend and Jerry was in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) doing a gunnery course (he was a tail air gunner on a Lancaster bomb- er that flew many combat missions over Germany) when they met on the Queen's University campus in Kingston. He asked her out for a coffee. Six weeks later they were married-- in uniform-- before Jerry shipped out over- seas six months later on June 1, 1944 be- fore returning in December of 1945. His aircrew stayed on after the war to drop supplies in flood-ravaged Holland and to ferry POW's back from confine- ment. While he was away, his first daugh- ter Jill was born. He first saw her when she was over a year old. The couple have four children Jill, 69, Linda, 67, Kirk, 63, and Karl, 60, who also lives in Acton, along with 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
