Charles Harold Godwin FIMMM

摘要

Charles Harold Godwin FIMMM, who died on 13 August aged 94, could actually remember Dr Leo Baekeland, the inventor of Bakelite, from the Midlands factory. He spent over 47 years in the laminated plastics industry. He was a life member of IOM~3 and one of its longest-serving members. Charles was born on 24 February 1915 at Castle Bromwich. After attending the village school, often arriving on the milkman's cart, he went to the King Edward V! Grammar school in Birmingham. There he displayed an aptitude for rifle shooting. He loved poetry, and revelled in rehearsing his memorised favourites, which he stored in a special book in the nursing home where he spent the last few years of his life.
