Meeting Again "Two years ago, I met this chap, Tom Day, at a dance in Melbourne. We heard each other's accent and started talking. We worked out that we both used to live in Commercial Street, Leith; we were both born in June 1942; and we both started at Couper Street, School. He said, he had a school photo taken in 1947. He emailed it to me and told me he was standing on the far left, and I was 4th from the left. It's the only school photo that I have." |

Photo Restored I have been able to do a little restoration to this photo, but have not been able to replace the face of the boy, 3rd from left, whose face has been completely lost. - Peter Stubbs: April 10, 2008 |
