Remembering Donald MacInnes

Remembering Donald MacInnes of Cumbernauld
1931-2007

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our good friend, historian, and fellow officer Vice-President of International, Donald MacInnes. Donald passed away on January 4, 2007.

The document below was read on Januray 16 at the funeral of Donald MacInnes by Colin McInnes.The service was held at St. Columba's in Glasgow, the Highland Cathedral and conducted by Reverend Donald Michael MacInnes. The sentiment in the letter expressed the feelings of everyone in Clan MacInnes who had the privilege of knowing Donald.

Donald often spoke with me about a project close to his heart. He was planning to install permanent markers at significant Clan MacInnes historical sites in Scotland.Taking this a step further we can envision this project extending to the immigrant settlement sites in North America, Australia and New Zealand.

As a way of remembering Donald and his huge contribution to the Association, I am today initiating the Donald MacInnes Remembrance Fund. The purpose of the fund is to raise money for worthwhile Clan Projects such as the heritage markers and perhaps someday a MacInnes Clan Center.

The annual dues go toward the cost of mailings, scholarships,Eillen Munda maintenance and general membership support and there is just not enough surplus to support other projects. This is an opportunity to remember Donald and support the projects he thought were worthwhile.
