"Thanks webmaster, I'm so happy to be a Glesga Pal, as I love your site and visit often.
......the photo was taken around 1947 and I was about 13 yrs old.
Our school stood next door to Allan Glen's but I believe both schools are gone now, in the name of progress,
just the way a lot of others have gone but still they can't erase them from our memories.
I used to be a relief manageress in Pullars of Perth, I was based in the Sauchiehall St branch but whenever a regular manageress was off sick or for holidays I would go and take her place wherever that may be Dunoon, Troon, Helensburgh, Paisley and all round Glasgow, I saw a lot of places but the work was the same no matter where I was sent.
I met my hubby Charlie in Feb. of '55 and that was it--we married in Aug '55 (quick workers eh!) we settled in Clydebank and had 1 daughter and 3 sons before emigrating to USA in 1971. Our children married and gave us 4 grandsons and 4 granddaughters and 4 of them have made us gt. grandparents of 9, all Americans.
Life goes on and a long way from my roots in Bridgeton.
Thanks again for my new status, I will carry it proudly, LOL......Marion "

".....Being impressed doesn't say enough for my feelings. The webmaister is truly a genius. I was mesmerized when I saw the pictures of my old school, they were so unexpected, that I went over them again and again. Funnily enough I hardly recognised the old place, you see when I was there the school was totally surrounded by tenements and somehow I got lost in them. It is great to see my school as it really was.

Dear Webmaister: I think your efforts have produced an outstanding website. Congratulations!

I had a wee warm feeling when I saw the pictures and read the messages relating to Marion's old school, City Public Senior Secondary School. I attended City Public (as we pupils called it ) for five years, receiving my "Highers" in 1945, a few years before Marion arrived on its doorstep.
