An American In Barassie

A Memory of Troon.

I lived at 51 Becah Road, Barassie, Troon. My step-father was in the U.S. Air Force and stationed at Prestwiick. I remember the gentleman who lived on the ground floor of our house. His name I think was George Mullin. We lived on the top floor. He and I used to go for long walks on the beach and the golf course. I can remember taking tea and having ices. He was a marvelous man. I believe he was an artist. I finally find the exact address of the hosue. I only had an old damaged photo. Thanks to the Ayrshire Post and Lisa, I was able to get a current photo and the address. I would like to find out if the name is current for the time period we lived there and also when he died. I believe his wife was at a boarding school as a teacher and his son went to the same school. I remember he was home every so often but not much. Anything anyone can give me information wise would be greatly appreacited.
This was a very important and happy time in my life. It was at that house I grew to love history. I am now a college history professor. I would dearly love to live in Scotland but can't because of my pets. It holds a special place in my heart always.
