Thank you to Joyce Ritchie, daughter of Wullie Croal, for passing on to me the sad news of Wullie's death on Dec 29, 2012, just 3 days after celebrating his 90th birthday.

I have several photos of Edinburgh on the EdinPhoto web site.  These were passed to me by Wullie's son, Tam.

Bryan Gourlay RIP

I was sad to receive an email from Graeme Gourlay yesterday, telling me that his father, Brian Gourlay, passed away yesterday, aged 72.

Bryan described his father as a hugely intelligent and articulate man who will be greatly missed.

I never met Bryan, but I certainly appreciated his communications with me on a wide range of topics over several years (see opposite).

I know that others also appreciated the scope and depth of many of his contributions to the EdinPhoto web site.

Thank you Bryan:

Message for Isa Paulin

Hi Isa: 

I last contacted you in late 2005.  Since then, I've not managed to get through to you. Do you now have a new e-mail address?

Six people would like to contact you.

They have all written individually to me.

They are:

Eleanor Bruce

Tom Kelly

Rab (Bobbie) Waugh

-  Andrew Weddell

-  Yvonne Shaw
-  Dave Malcolm

Yvonne Shaw tells me that she thinks she may be related to you.  Yvonne's mum is Helen Waddell.  She was one of a large family (father Robert Waddell) who grew up in Holyrood Square.

Update

Thank you to Anne-Marie Wilson for giving me the current email address for Isa Paulin.  That's helpful to me.  I've now passed it on to the six people listed above.

Peter Stubbs, Edinburgh:  9 July 2014

Isa:  Please email me if you have read the message above.

Thank you.

-  Peter Stubbs:  Jan 2007 + Oct 2008 + Jan 2010

How can I contact George?

NOTE FOR GEORGE T SMITH

or for anybody who knows
how to contact him

George T Smith has been a regular contributor to the EdinPhoto web site for over a decade.  He sent about 300 emails to me between 2004 and 2014.

However, I can no longer contact him at his original email address.  The last message that I received from him was one sent on 3 Dec 2014  in which he said:

"I have had some problems with things electronic recently and have fallen onto arrears with my correspondence

I hope to return to 21st century technology once I iron out the problems induced by changing my E-mail provider."

If you can suggest how I might be able to contact George, please email me to let me know.**

Thank you.

Peter Stubbs:  26 November 2015

** There's no need to contact me now.  Please see 'UPDATE' below.

UPDATE

Good news!  George T Smith sent another message to me today, saying:

"Despite all clues I have not fallen off my perch!"

George tells me that he has had some computer problems and some minor health problems, but he hopes to beat his family record for longevity which stands at 109 years 7 months, a score set by his grandpa.

John STEWART RIP

Sadly, I'm passing on the news of John Stewart's death after a short illness on January 9, 2012. 

I know that he will be sadly missed by the many people around the world who have appreciated his enthusiasm for Leith and all the work that he has done to set up his OldLeither web site  and keep it running over the past eleven years.

It is hoped that arrangements can be made to continue to keep this web site operating.

UPDATE

Good news!  In 2012, friends and family of John Stewart created new Facebook pages (See 'Spirit of Leithers') in order to continue the work that John started with his 'OldLeither' web site.
