Hi madge, you got it in one! "Quequeg" was the native-American harpooner in "Moby Dick"! Were you also aware that Hermann Melville spent time whaling before he wrote the book? I well remember Joe and Peggy from 11 Dippin Place; Joe was an A1 bus driver and Peggy a conductress. At home, the dog was called "Mickey". While walking him around Jacks Road park, a lout smacked me in the mouth and Mickey took the a**e out of a guy's pants. He was up on his toes and awaaaay!

From the Kilmarnock Herald 16th April 1948. Anyone spot their grandfather's greyhound?
