Canadian Air Force Flight Lieutenant (Ret’d) GM, CD Robert “Bob” Morgan (left) met
Major (Ret’d) Major Alex Tsang (right), President of the Edmonton United

guests gathered to learn about recent museum activities.
Flight
Lieutenant (Ret’d) Morgan joined the RCAF in 1949 and served 36 years. He was
awarded the George Medal for saving the life of a fellow pilot on July 21, 1955
from a F-86 that crashed and burned.
Learn more about his career from the plaque featured on this blog.
On
Sunday, Sept. 20, 2015, Flight Lieutenant (Ret’d) Morgan will be
one of eight RCAF veterans honoured by the City of Edmonton. A street will be named after him in
the Village of Griesbach, located in northwest Edmonton. He will stand beside this plaque during a
ceremony to officially open the RCAF Commemorative Park.
For details regarding the timing and location of the
ceremony, refer to my blog post: “RCAF Commemorative Park opens Sept. 20,
