Those Were The Days

Great to read! I’ve got a lot to add but can firstly respond to the ‘where are they now’ query. Dr Tom Houghton died in Jersey at age 75 .....I was at the funeral along with 4 other ex Grammar school pals (names can be supplied). Meg West went to Dunfermline Coll and became a PE teacher and later married one of my pals from Jordanhill (we both trained as PE teachers) His name was Bill Telfer and he sadly died last year. Meg is living up near Dingwall I think.jFrank Bishop was, I recall, Assistant Baths Manager and was responsible for the deckchair and life guarding on the beach. Tom Houghton and I worked several summers starting from 1954 I think. Other names from our time as beach employees....Eddie Burnett, Alister Gill ( Dr eventually), Ian Dewar, Alister Duncan. I’m Jack Kelly by the way! There’s plenty more Aberdeen memories I could share but that’s a start.
