Hi everyone,
My name is Tom Hutchinson lived in Hamilton Crescent, l attended St Johns till 1969 . We moved to England
Shortly after that due to my Dads work .l have great memories of growing up there though .
I still have family living in the area and can still go back and visit .Recently found a school photo on your web site for 1966 that l am included in ,just wondered if any of my ex school mates are on the site and how they are doing now.

Well l am just brand new to this so l will keep an eye on it and hope to take part in the forums in future .
All the best,

Tom

Hello Tommy and welcome.
I instantly recognised many of the pupils in this photo you mentioned from old St Johns Stevenston in 66. Some of these kids are famous .. and others are infamous!

I would have been in primary 6 or 7 at that time myself - depending on which month the pic was taken - and was just a year or two above.

Know Hamilton Crescent well as I lived in the adjoining Forde Crescent then.

Hi Tommy, welcome to the site. I'm sure you will enjoy looking at all the postings. It's a great site for helping you keep in touch with what is going on back home. Re the school pic, my wee brother Brian Ferguson is second on your right. Looking forward to hearing any old stories you have.

Hi all,
New to this so bear with me ,thanks. For the quick replies ,first hello Sandra l knew Brian very well we were very good friends back then,you may even remember when l managed to get the fishing hook stuck in my finger in your house one night after school.( but maybe not a long time ago.)

I was back up visiting about three months back and my sister Nan said she thought that Brian was in the bar
But l did not approach him as l thought he would remember me after head a long time.

I have been talking to my kids about some of the antics we used to get up to there was a bunch of us all on that photo that used to hang about together , l was quite amazed to see that photo in there l also found another one
Regarding the Ardeer Thistle that one of my uncles is in .

Passed them round the family most of them live in England but we do still have some in the area gets some conversations going.if anyone from the photo recognises me and would like to say hello please do.

Regards,
Tom
