Our memorable reunion was held at the
Pollokshields Burgh Hall, September, 2003.
A few quotes from those who attended are interspersed below, and are a
small sample of the wonderful outpouring of thanks sent to our committee
members.
For my part, I thank all who attended and entered into the spirit of the
occasion, thereby ensuring its success.
Deana
Here's some foties fer you, ma freen
Hope the contents pleasure yer een
For sure, if there's no a biddy tae see
There'll be some that'll say they're no worth a bawbee
But we that wis there are jist happy tae mind
A' the pals that were met an the ties that wir bind
No matter whit, there were no strangers there
Auld freens or new, the connection wis rare
When we a' reach oor dotage and memory's died
The auld school connection will bond and abide
So enjoy these reflections of faces and chatter
At oor ain celebration of the auld alma mater
....must be one of the first school reunions planned by remote control!"
"It really was an outstanding
success....everyone I spoke to had a great time"
"....what a marvellous reunion!"

The catering at our reunion was beautifully presented by
Thistle Catering,
owned and operated by

Sad to say, Margaret's husband and business partner passed away recently
and
the catering business is now closed.
