Hi there, I was in the 3A3 class 1943/44. I've been living in Canada for 52 years now. I'm wondering if anyone is interested in sharing a drink [coffee or stronger] on my next visit to Edinburgh, probably in 2010. You can contact me at: (416) 223-9308 or at my son's e-mail address: jamie.glass@yrdsb.edu.on.ca Hope to hear from you, Ernie Glass

I am interested if anyone who was in school with me is watching this forum. I moved to the US in '92, completed two Masters and two doctorates and now live in rural Mississippi, and am Principal of a Christian Military Boarding school. My wife Pam (nee Mitchel) also attended Boroughmuir.
We return to Scotland occasionally--were there last summer as we ended a month in Europe (30th wedding anniversary trip), and would be interested in hearing from old classmates. email me if you can as I do not often get the time to cruise these sites. pqjonline@gmail.com Quentin (known by my first name while at school--Paul)

Kathleen MacNamara
Hello former classmates: I have just recently been reaquainted with a former classmate who, like me, is now resident in Canada. We, Norma
Sutherland, Betty Arnott, and I, Kathleen MacNamara, were reunited in Ottawa while attending an Ontario Theatre Festival. The initial connection was made because Betty and I had registered to attend the Centennial event at the school in Edinburgh.
As is happened, neither of us was able to attend because of health concerns at the time. For Betty and myself, Elma Hannan was our contact. For Norma, Elizabeth Mercer. We hope to visit Scotland for homecoming and would like to have a reunion luncheon with as many of our classmates as possible. Please get in touch. We are all getting on in years so it may be our last chance to remember the way we were and to laugh at the innocence of our age! Thanks, Kathleen MacNamara

Josephine Connor
I attended BHS during the early 70's. I really couldn't wait to grow up and get out into the real world! Mr. Swan (or Swanny) was one of my teachers (home room). I used to hang out with Gwen Robertson sometimes, and Moira Cruickshank, but I was a bit of a loner and quite honestly, I never really enjoyed my school days. I also had friend called Yasmeen Farooqui and my first boyfriend was Eric Forson (who had a rather embarassing nickname I won't mention here!) I've been living in America for the past 15 years or so, working in real estate and raising 3 children, but have recently divorced and am now returning to Scotland in about a week! I'd really enjoy hearing from anyone who remembers me. (joziconnor@juno.com)
All the best, Jozi
At Boroughmuir from 1969 to 1973
Hellos From: Philip Izatt I was at Boroughmuir around that time and remember Yasmeen because of her unusual surname. You mention Mr Swan (maths teacher). I was not a fan. Had the belt of him a few times. That was when you had to go to the Bryson Rd annexe for the first two years. 24 November 2011

Started at High School in 1960 from Forresters High School and on to Gorgie Road? Then on to main High School in Viewforth. Was in classes 1A2, 2A2,3R, 3T, 4T, 5T,6T in 1965.Made many unforgetable friends and met up with Ian Cairney recently, who now lives in Australia. Loved Basketball and remember when Bill MacGinnes? brought the 'Colours' to the school for that sport. Before that the school was well known for its Rugby. I eventually went on to become a BBC Television Cameraman and remember meeting Mr Patterson at Murrayfield for an England v Scotland game!He remembered me as much as I remembered him and let him up on to the camera position so he could watch a clear view of the game.That would be 1974 when I moved back to Glasgow after spending 6 nyears at Television Centre. Still remember my 'school girlfriends from then, they were Sheila Payne and Fiona Kinnel. How are you?
