Feb.2003, Margaret Berry (nee Shepherd )
Great memory Margaret just about remembered every name!
Margaret's son Gavin is best friends with my oldest son Alan, and I am reliably informed that Margaret and her family have became fans of the website.
It therefore gives me great pleasure to add this 1960 class photograph to my website.

WEBMAISTER:- my son Alan got married on 4th June 2004 and Margaret's son Gavin was his best man. (Photo of Margaret aged 15 sent to me by her old classmate June MacWilliam......isn't GlescaPals fantastic ! )

"I was amazed and delighted to find this website with a picture of Newlands School and the 1960 photo at Newlands shows me in it. Margaret Shepherd has a fantastic memory....I wonder if she remembers me? I have been living in Canada for 37 years now and have been "home" for many visits. I always longed to find some classmates and even made the journey to Newlands School only to find they had turned it into offices. Would enjoy hearing from anyone else from Newlands or Riverside who might remember me"

" I love this website and the clever Webmaster who puts it all together. I've now made email contact with three former classmates from Newlands Primary School in Parkhead (Margaret Shepherd, Robert Porteous and Gary Nolan). Hoping more of you will register and get in touch. I would love to know what happened to you after you left Newlands - and any memories you have of Mr. Mutch or Miss Critchley"

".. sorry here is more work.......your website is just too good and now you are having too much work to keep everything up, aren't you? Top Row Number 7 is Robert Irvine, now living in Ontario, Canada, one of our classmates found him in the guestbook and contacted him.

26 Dec.2006, extract from email, Brian Charlton, Blantyre, ( see Newlands School blog)

"Webmaister, A Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I got an e-mail from Robert Irvine in one of your school photo's identifying another couple of boys.

He is number 7 in the back row and he said that the boy right in front of him (No 7 in row 4) is called Joseph Benton. He also said that the boy at No 3 in the 4th row is called Robert Brodie, so that would be almost everybody in that class identified now, if you would like to update it. Best regards, Brian Charlton.
