We were very sad to hear that Corinne Dunklee passed away on November 28th . It must be remembered that her late daughter, Mary, was arguably the founder of the House of Burnett. Mary formed the Burnett society in the 1970 which eventually developed, with Clan Burnett inc into the House of Burnett. Corinne and her daughter Peggy came to Scotland to the 2009 Gathering and was one of the stars of the week. Despite her advanced years and her health, she stoically addressed all the events during the visit, refusing to make good use of the wheelchair that we had provided for her. Peggy confirms how much she loved her visit here and how much she enjoyed the Scottish music, dancing and other activities that were organized during those few days. We very much enjoyed her company. She will be greatly missed
