Nov.2008, Isobel Irvine.
I was on the website and ive found a picture of my mum. Its on
the Queen Mary street primary 1956. We were wondering if we could
get a copy of the photo as she does not have any old school
photo's. I seen on the site that donations are welcome, do you
accept donations for photo's or do we have to purchase. Im not
really sure how your site works.
Would be grateful for any help.
Her name is Isobel Irvine nee McKechnie. She said the school was
moved to dalmarnock primary at some point too, she went on to John
Street Senior sec after that.
She is sitting 2nd row far left no1, right under the teacher with
the cardi on. It gave me a wee chuckle! Thanks Isobel

fantastic site
brings back all the memories Ive seen myself and my best pal Robert
Grier (deceased) 27 years now in a photograph 1956 Queen Mary st
school the year I became the proud owner of a Davy Crocket hat
there we are 6 years old and not a worry in the world.
And then l saw my
big sister Isabel way back in 1950 there she sits smiling away for
the camera two photographs that I never knew existed so a heartfelt
thank you to GlescaPals thanks for the memories as old Bob HOPE used
too say its great too see so many names from the past all born BC
(before computers) still alive and kicking
I wonder though how
many have still got all their own teeth after all them big caramel
sweets on the penny tray were deadly in that wee shop facing the
school gate help my boab iv just got a picture of 2 big wagon wheel
biscuits in my mind aw too hell with the cholestral "Mary would you
get the kettle on and Ill roll down to the shop" I never mind your
little house on the praire give me that that old Tenement in
Bridgeton any day (have to close now rose coloured glasses begining
to mist over) all the best john & mary

Webmaister thanks for E mail regarding QUEEN Mary street school
photograph 1956
I think Teacher was Miss Richmonds may well be wrong but looking at
that photo that name comes to mind she was great.
Thats me 3RD ROW 5 along and 6 along is Robert Grier I think that
also on 3rd row 3 along is William McKnight top row 7 along is
William Montgomery other names i remember from that time may well be
in this picture for they were in my class then and later on at
Dalmarnock school till 1961 and then on to Bernard street school in
62 Wullie McNay James Kean, James Wilson, Ralph Russell, Mary
Martin, Helen McTear, Helen Chalmers, John McBride, John
Gibson hope this is of some help to others.
I have no photographs at all of childhood so i think your website is
fantastic webmaister

Dec.2010, John McMillan, Glasgow,
Age 61yrs
Just had another look back at my class photo on
GlescaPals Queen Mary St 1956 as I dont have a single photo of
childhood it was great to see my pals again Its been 41 years since
I left Bridgeton when Mary and I got married we lost contact with
everyone then jings crivens help ma bob on my 60th birthday the
family bought me a laptop on the first night we stumbled on
GlescaPals when they asked me "who would you like to contact"my
cousin Alex says i maybe I could find out a wee bit family history
what I never said of course is "I wonder what ever became of that
girl i never had the nerve to ask out when i was 13" I have to add
quickly here that
this was 4 years before i met the lovely Mary grovel grovel
Well you never know she might read this Alex name nearly jumps out
of the page at me and he gave me some family history same night I
saw that school photo not only that got an e mail from that girl
from way back after i put names to pupils in photo trouble was she
did not remember me at all ah well thats life but the family had a
laugh when it turns out her married name was same as my wifes maiden
name hows that for the x files all that on the first visit to
GlescaPals nothing since but I still look in every few days because
its a fantastic website and i really enjoy it...... thank you
Webmaister aw ra best JOHN & MARY

Wull a few
years back. but it was a relative who just saw
photo and noticed my
mistake thank you very much Wull for all your good work, without
you I would never have a class photo in the first place I have no
other
