Expo pavilion engineer to be deported to United States
The self taught engineer who built the German pavilion at Expo 67, George Ben Edmondson, is being deported to the U.S. after the immigration appeal board dismissed his appeal. He lived in Canada for two years under the name Alex Bormann. Immigration Minister Marchand declined to intervene. Separately, Michigan fugitive Charles Edward Ervin, on the FBI most wanted list, is being held and may be deported. His brother Gordon Dale Ervin is believed in Canada, possibly Montreal. The Ervin brothers escaped from a Michigan state prison in 1965. Edmondson is jailed in Carleton County, with deportation chosen for speed and cost.
