Photo ... At last!
"After all these years, I do believe in miracles. The 1945-50 class
picture above, sent by Charles Paterson is what I have been
looking for since my first e-mail to you. It shows me in the back row 2nd from the right. I can't tell you how tickled I was when I came across it recently. Please give my thanks to Charles." (I'll do that. - Peter Stubbs.) My Book "As I mentioned in an earlier e-mail I've written a book called 'Balkymor, The Talipes Effect'. It is available on-line at Friesenpress Publishing and/or Amazon. The book deals with my early years during the 2nd World War in Bo'ness and Edinburgh and my time at Castlehill School while dealing with a 'club foot', interacting with teachers Dr Low and Miss Moffat. The book follows my life:
- moving from Royal Mile area to Broomhouse Unfortunately my grand daughter, Kelly, was born with 2 club feet and it was her fighting spirit that inspired me to write the book. It would be great, Peter, if you could get this story 'out there' in Scotland, I'm sure there could be some interested former friends and school mates who would enjoy the read."
