I was there 1972 - 1975, whilst at the Ballochmyle Hospital.
There was a Jack Fleming, who lived in Catrine. His wife, Anne - used to work part time at the Ballochmyle Hospital, in the Telephone Exchange.
Also Laurie Brass, a lecturer at Ballochmyle Hospital - he was with the Rotary Club, think with the Cumnock Club. His charming & delightful wife (whose name escapes my mind) with the Inner Wheel - invited me along once, as a Guest Speaker - saying a few words about Tanzania & East Africa !!
The Editor of Ayrshire Post, was with the Ayr Round Table. I forget his name too - he invited me to contribute regularly for the weekly Post !
Wonderful times - very fond memories - met so many lovely Scots folks - went to so many Burns Supper (was even invited to give the 'Hail Caledonia' address one year, think 1974).
My warmest regards to all the good folks of South Ayrshire, in most instances - the children & grandchildren of those that I was fortunate to have known then !!... Collapse
