After reading about Bridgeton Burns Club on this website one of my GlescaPals
contacted me
.. ......"Wull, I have my Aunt Annie Fraser's medal that she won in a
singing competition at the Bridgeton Burn's Club in 1904 aged
fourteen.
She died in the influenza epidemic in 1914 whilst going steady with a
fellow and making plans for their engagement party when she took ill.
The man' s name was R.S.McColl of the newsstand
fame!

Extract
from e-mail, Ron Fraser, Ohio, USA
"Wull.......I thought the way you showed the pictures was just
fabulous. Then again what else could you expect from the GlescaPals
Webmaister! Another excellent job, but I wonder how you
get the time to work on everything that you do.
Believe me, it
is much appreciated."
