August
2005, extract from email, June
Elizabeth MacWilliam, ( now
Liz Mellis ), Sechelt,
Canada
".. The final photo
taken 1961, before our graduating to
Riverside, shows our teacher, the
late Mr. James D. Mutch, Assistant
Head Master, and the Headmaster, Mr.
T. Carmichael, as well as our
signatures on the reverse side of
the photo.........we were 11 years
old and we were chosen as "MONITORS"
which was a high honour to us. It is
actually due to Bob Porteous that we
have this record as he found the
signed photo in his mother's attic
after her passing and scanned me a
copy as well as the other class
photos..
What is special about this
photograph is everyone signed the
back and Mr.Mutch was much loved as
a teacher " |

| ...... a historical
document from this old school............ the
back of the photograph all signed. |

......Hello
Webmaister .... just got around to looking at
these fotees again and filling in some
names.....been so busy finding lost
schoolmates around the world. I even
finally met a lad (in person) who lived almost
next door to me - we knew each other since we
were toddlers. Despite an absence
of 40 YEARS, we met up just recently in
Vancouver, BC where we talked about our school
days and filled in some blanks for each
other.
This would never have
happened if you hadn't taken on this website
project. It's been really great for
Scots around the world Wull. Thanks again for
your enthusiasm and going far beyond the call
of duty. It is obvious that this site is
not just a commercial venture.......your HEART
is in this too Wull.....we can
tell!! Now that is high
praise from a wee Glesga wummin !! Slainte,
E-(Liz)-abeth Mellis, B.C.
Canada a.k.a. "June MacWilliam"
from school days.
