I had a photo of the scout troop I belonged to, there were 38 of us in the troop, it was taken in 1958, at that time I was 15 years old, including myself there are only 3 of us left - plus a lot of fond memories.

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
