I was at Hayshead 1955 to 1962 then I was imprisoned at that dreadful High School till 1967.I was in the Air Cadets 2422 Squdron 1964-1968( George Penman,Malcolm Finlayson, Dennis Lowson, Ian Eddie, Brian Forsyth and others (Keith Robertson where are you?). Since then I moved to Dundee sort of then I lived and worked around Edinburgh till 1996. I wonder what happened to Anne Mchutchison since 1985?
Then temporarily took a contract in England then another and another ,,,,,
I miss the braes of Angus and I wonder if anyone remembers me? (I know Ron Fenton and Brian Forsyth do).
Happy to engage in banter but I wonder if we should not also be doing something to help our home town our own people too etc. Like a foundation to help people cope with living there?
Meanwhile Freedom for Scotland and Free Tibet too
May all beings be blessed
Too many words- sorry

Born: Melbourne, Australia
Current Location: Australia
Born of an English mother and Scottish father in Australia, all my family history research has me spending far too many hours [according to my wife] at the computer. The Gourlays were a Fife family until great grandfather swam the Tay and set up in the Dundee area. My grandmother was an Angus Meffan with the earliest I can find [ 5th great grand parents] originating in Arbroath.
