on Jan. 16, 1945 in Spokane. Doris finished her nurses’ training at St. Luke’s in Spokane, where she later worked as an RN. She also worked at Shriner’s Hospital in Spokane.

Paul Germaine
Wednesday, 01 July 2009
Paul Silas Germaine, a five-year resident of Colville, passed away on June 21, 2009 in Colville at the age of 87. He was born on Jan. 25, 1922 in Tonneins, France, the son of Louis and Annie Germain.
Paul was raised in Toronto, Ontario, where he grew to have a passion for aeronautics. He also attended church as a youngster, and that love for God continued throughout his life.
Paul met the love of his life, Edina Jamieson, and they were married
in 1947 in Toronto.
Paul worked for Massey Harris as a design engineer and helped build the De Haviland Mosquito, which was used during combat in World War II. He also helped develop the first jet-powered airliner that flew in the United States in 1949.
Paul moved his family to Seattle in 1961 to begin his career with the Boeing Company. At Boeing, Paul helped to develop the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS), a system that many thought was impossible until Paul worked out the stress problems to make the system workable. He retired from Boeing in 1982, and continued to live in the Seattle area until 2004, when he moved to Colville to be closer to his son.
Paul loved engineering so much-- it was also his hobby. He designed Hi-speed multi-hull sailboats and built model airplanes. At the age of 20, he built a working model of the Mosquito, which was still a top secret program in 1942. Paul also loved his relationship with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and dedicated several years to studying the book of Revelation and publishing his book, Understanding The Amazing Revelation of Jesus Christ, in 2002.
Paul was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Edina Germaine, in 2001.
He is survived by his sons, Daryl Germaine and his wife Sharon, Manila, Philippines, and Dave Germaine of Kettle Falls; his grandchildren, Candice Adema, and her husband Justin, Toronto; Tyler Germaine, Manila; Hilary Germaine, Spokane; Abigail Germaine, Spokane, and Melody Germaine, Spokane; his sister, Ruth Dunham and her husband Don, Toronto; his brother, John Germain, Toronto, and numerous nieces and nephews.
