Version 9 - view current page
Freddie is the 7th child of Muriel and Edward Lawton.
Freddie was a cute little boy, very active, with fingers drumming and body wiggling all the time. I remember when he had a terrible case of measles, was red all over, very quiet in the bed. Once he fell against our oil store and burned his arm badly. He had a motor-cycle for a time and was knocked down by a big dog while passing through Rothesay...he had broken ribs and suffered greatly. Freddie was brilliant in school, as was Rodney. Freddie has the mind and spirit of a poet, is very quiet and a private person.

Fred grew up in a large family of 10 brothers and sisters, and although an avid camper (particularly during his six years as Scout leader when his family was younger) he now appreciates hotels when enjoying traveling and visiting across the country.
