====================================
Shirley Crainey (
now Robb ) DPS 1941 - 1948
"I was born in Bridgeton and attended Dalmarnock Primary School from
1941 - 1948. I have fond memories of teachers Mr Wright and Mr Lamb. My husband Charlie Robb also attended Dalmarnock Primary School
but we didn't know each other at school. Charlie who is two years older
than me, lived in Ruby Street while I lived
opposite the school in Albany Street. We started 'winching' when
I was sweet 17 and married two years
later in 1956. My parents moved to the USA two months later and Charlie
and I followed in 1958.
We have lived in Brooklyn, New York since then and have two sons, Ian and
Craig. I worked in my son's school as a volunteer, they then gave me a job
as a school-aide. I went to college got my B.A. in Education and went on
to get my Masters in Sci.in Ed. in Reading. I have been a 3rd Grade
( 8yr olds ) teacher ever since, specialising in reading in the same
school."

June 2003, extract from e-mail, Richard
Evans, Toronto, Canada
Hi webmaster I just found out your Mother was Nessie Evans and
I thought I would let you know I was a teammate of her brother when he
played for Dalmarnock school. I only ever knew him as Sonny Evans, he
played left back and I was right back.From what I can remember he was a
good bit shorter than I was, but always got stuck in no matter how big the
opponents. I
have been looking over all the school photographs and I'm almost certain
that Sonny Evans is in the 1945 11yr.olds 2nd row #6.
I am almost sure that #1 in the back row is Matt Currie and #4 is
Alex Mc Bride.
The girl at the end of the same row is one of
the Paisley family, I can't remember her first name. I see many faces that
I know in different photos, as I changed classes a few times during my
stay at Dalmarnock. Being 68 now, I feel quite pleased that I can
recognize those faces form so long ago........
This
website brings a lot of pleasure to old timers like me.

Joyce Wylie, Blantyre, Scotland
,Hi there, Im not sure if lm emailing the
correct person but l was wondering if and how l would be able to obtain
a copy of one of the old school photos. My dad very suddenly died last
year and as I was browsing through the Bernard street photos ( as this
is the school my mum said he attended at some point ) I noticed below
the Dalmarnock school link and the 1945 11yr olds. I
realised immediately that my dad would have been 11 in 1945 so I clicked
on it.
I cried
like l've never cried before when I recognised him immediately standing in
the back row. Im only so sorry that he's not here for me to show it to
him. His name was William Wylie. Anyway, I hope you can help me, Id appreciate it so
much.
Thank you,
Joyce Wylie.

William Wylie my Daddy by his daughter Joyce.....
My daddy moved from Bernard Street,
Bridgeton to somewhere in Garthamlock. He married my mammy in 1969 and I
was born in 1978. We lived in Clydebank along with my younger sister who
was born in 1981. My mum and dad moved to Dalry in 2002 ( they saved and
saved to one day buy that wee cottage in the country, and that's what
they did)
After his schooling my
daddy was a baker then a cook/baker for the army then he was a printer
for a company called Courtaulds in Nitshill which closed down when my
daddy was 60. He worked for B&Q for 5yrs and retired when he was 65.
That's when he moved to Dalry.
He wasn't feeling too well in Dec.2005 had a bit of a heavy cold. then
in Feb.2006 he went into hospital and died 7 days later. Turns out, that
heavy cold was cancer.
Anyway I have utterly fab memories of him
and what crackers of stories he would tell me about his school days.
My daddy was thrilled to bits when myself and my husband had a baby boy
called Owen, though sadly my dad died 4 days before Owen's first
birthday.
I love the website and only wish I could
have shown it to my daddy. He loved computers, gadgets, doodas etc etc.
Joyce.
