História biográfica
Almonte Douglas Alkenbrack (1912-1998) was born in Rydal Bank, Ontario and educated at Flinton and various Quinte public schools, and at Napanee Collegiate Institute. He married Nan Rogers in 1939 and had two children, Eleanor Anne and James Alkenbrack. Mr. Alkenbrack was a lumber dealer and co-founder and partner of the R.W. Kimmerly Lumber Company of Napanee (1937-1962). From 1945 until 1962 he was a member of the Canadian Lumberman's Association. He had a passion for politics and served on Napanee Town Council from 1952 until 1958, including a year as Mayor from 1957 until 1958. He was unsuccessful in obtaining the Progressive Conservative nomination for the 1957 general election, but he contested and obtained the nomination for Prince Edward-Lennox in 1962. Mr. Alkenbrack was elected to the House of Commons in 1962 and held the seat until 1965, after which he became the first representative for the new riding of Frontenac-Lennox and Addington and held the seat from 1968 until his retirement in 1979. Douglas Alkenbrack was a gifted amateur poet, and a book of his work, "Rhymes of a Back-bencher" was published in 1995.
História custodial
