Gordon William Brown 27 Dec 1933 – 11 Jan 2009 Keynsham, Bristol, UK
As Gordon would have said, the famous Gordon Brown not the infamous Gordon Brown.

Gordon was involved with the Clan Lamont Society of Scotland for several decades holding many offices and duties. He was an architectural & engineering consultant but I knew him as the clan genealogist and jokester. Besides helping many other clansmen find their family histories, he was able to trace his own family back to Largs, Ayrshire, Scotland in mid 1700’s.

The first time I met him he was telling me of his idea to raise money for the clan. Before he would tell me the idea, I had to promise to help implement the plan in the US. It was brilliant; we would print the Campbell coat of arms on rolls of toilet paper. “We will really clean up on this idea…. !!” I can still hear him laughing, I thought he was serious. I really enjoyed his sense of humor and his passion for the clan.
