Circa early 50's but who's who?

Bob,

Logging in from Tenerife, delighted that everything turned out OK.

Bob,

I've been trying to get this evening on your own email address but for some reason it keeps pinging back. The first thing that breaks down in a disaster is communication so hopefully everything is OK. Keep us posted please.

Morag,

I've worn out that CD - a good mixture of traditional Burns and her interpretation. She is very popular. Was invited to sing too at the opening of the Scottish Parlianment.

Who remembers, either you yourself or a classmate, being sent to school with gentian violet [a mixture of three dyes, methyl rosaniline, methyl violet, and crystal violet, which is antiseptic and bactericidal according to the dictionary] on a cold sore/hack, usually on the lip.

Hughie, I thought you had made that name up anyway. Harvey is not your standard Ardrossan christian name. Then I began to recollect, and I think I'm right, TEMPLE was a family who lived in one of the houses that in the middle of the Dalry Road brae overlooking HARVEY's Park (now HARVEY Gardens). I w...
