Adrian Brown Memorial Trust
Saturday 7, February 2009, is now referred to as Black Saturday in Victoria. That day 173 persons lost their lives including the young family of the then President Gary Brown.
The Australian Philatelic Federation Ltd has set up the Adrian Brown Family Memorial Trust with the aim of encouraging young people to read and learn about Australia through stamps.
From a very young age Adrian loved reading, continuing into his teens and married life. He studied professional writing and was an avid short story and poetry writer, with the majority of his writings being destroyed in the fires. Together with his wife Mirrabelle, they would read to the children, Eric, Matthew and Brielle from quite young age and encouraged them always to read. The boys would bring home their readers and many additional books from the Library of their school, Middle Kinglake Primary, one of three schools that were also burnt to the ground on that fateful day.
AIM:
The trust is being set up to provide finance to publish a reading book to be made available to Primary Schools around Australia to enable children to learn about the Geography and History of Australia through the issue of stamps.
The Trust has produced a SSS at $20.00
[ plus p/p $5.00] which can be purchased from the APF Products Office.
