Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald, 7th July 1967

Susan

I recall earning my bronze D Of E. award. Would have got my Silver but for a misunderstanding over the outdoor section. We did accomplish the walk to Ayr but due to a misunderstand over the overnight stay,[ intended staying at hostel but that did not happen] after some calls home for advise we ended up staying on the floor of the Ayr Baptist manse home but did make our breakfast outdoors in park. Miss Harper was not well pleased with our effort..So we were supposed to repeat,I decided not to do so. Ca Sera!

Regarding Robert Vogwell (Robert Oliver Vogwell) I used to live at 40 Auchenharvie Road, and Robert lived at number 46 Auchenharvie Road. We were good friends from about aged 9 through to about 14 as I remember and then just drifted apart. Fast forward to now when I was doing some family research and found out from Scottish records that he has no birth record on their database,, which could suggest that he was adopted. He also died very young at age 28 in 1981. I also recall that his brother John looked very different from him. Does anyone know what happened to Robert Vogwell ?

Robert Vogwells photo recently posted Kyleshill class photo c 64.
Don’t have any other information on him.

RE: ROBERT VOGWELL

Hi, I'm Robert Volgwell's youngest Son Graeme
I moved to Australia in 1991 with my mum and have lived her ever since, so reading this stuff about dad by his friends is awesome.
Sadly, I didnt know my dad very long as he passed when I was 2 years old.
I can confirm my Dad along with his brother, John were both adopted. as far as i am aware John is still in Ayrshire.

His friend who lived in 40 Auchenharvie, I would be great to know any info or stories of my dad when he was growing up.

A warm welcome to the 3ts Graeme. I didn’t know your dad, but I remember John - he was a regular in the Melbourne cafe when I worked there in the late 1960s.

John, if we're talking about the same person, is an exceptionally pleasant individual, and very highly respected by his former colleagues, having retired as an Inspector in Strathclyde Police. He still lives, as far as I know, in the Ayr/Prestwick area. I thought he was brought up in Anderson Road, Saltcoats, but maybe my memory is fading.
