Extract
from e-mails Feb.2004 Ronnie McGivens,
Glasgow, Scotland
"Hello there Auld Da.......I bet you this is a
surprise.... photos
taken in Southport in 1976 I got your
e-mail address from the Dalmarnock
School website. I have an aunty in Canada who is
now in her sixties and she
found the site and phoned over to let the rest
of my family know about it. Some
of the school photos from the 40's and 50's have
some of my aunts and uncles in
them. I found some school photos in my Ma's
house, so when I get to grips with
this scanner I will send them to you. I was
going to e-mail you last year but I
didn't really know what to say, AYE WULL THAT
WID BE A FIRST FOR CHEEKY RONNIE
MCGIVENS, so at least this picture was a good
way of breaking the
ice."
"Well Wull I can honestly say that the best
memories of my childhood were
the ones which involved the 219th BB.
The camps that we went to were
brilliant, I mean when you are a young teenager
you do not want to go to
Blackpool with your Ma and Da, you want to be
amongst all your pals getting a
laugh playing football etc. I would like to
sincerely thank you, Big Jas and all
the officers for all the time and effort which
you put in over the years to
enrich the childhoods of myself and many
others." |
Webmaister : absolutely
