Feb.2003,
Margaret
Berry (nee Shepherd )
Great memory Margaret just about
remembered every name!
Margaret's son Gavin is best friends with
my oldest son Alan, and I am reliably
informed that Margaret and her family have
became fans of the website.
It therefore gives me great pleasure to
add this 1960 class photograph to my
website.
WEBMAISTER:-
my son Alan got married on 4th June 2004
and Margaret's son Gavin was his best man. (Photo of Margaret aged 15 sent
to me by her old classmate June
MacWilliam......isn't GlescaPals fantastic !
)

Elizabeth MacWilliam, ( now Liz Mellis ),
Sechelt, B.C, Canada,
"I was amazed and
delighted to find this website with a
picture of Newlands School and the
1960 photo at Newlands shows me in
it. Margaret Shepherd has a fantastic
memory....I wonder if she remembers me? I
have been living in Canada for 37 years now
and have been "home" for many visits. I
always longed to find some classmates and
even made the journey to Newlands School
only to find they had turned it into
offices. Would enjoy hearing from
anyone else from Newlands or Riverside who
might remember me"

MacWilliam, ( now Liz Mellis
), Sechelt,
near Vancouver, Canada
" I love this website and the clever
Webmaster who puts it all together. I've now
made email contact with three former
classmates from Newlands Primary School
in Parkhead (Margaret Shepherd, Robert
Porteous and Gary Nolan). Hoping more of you
will register and get in touch. I would
love to know what happened to you after you
left Newlands - and any memories you have of
Mr. Mutch or Miss Critchley"

I am still
enjoying this website and like to
browse.
Through this website I have made contact
with 6 Newlands Primary School classmates...George
Higgins, Gary Nolan,
Kenneth McMurray, Robert Porteous, James Dick,
Margaret Shepherd. Would like to hear from
others...where are you Newlands folks? "

".. sorry here is more work.......your
website is just too good and now you are
having too much work to keep everything up,
aren't you? Top Row Number 7 is Robert Irvine,
now living in Ontario, Canada, one of our
classmates found him in the guestbook and
contacted him.

Dec.2006, extract from email, Brian Charlton, Blantyre, ( see
Newlands
School blog)
"Webmaister, A Merry
Christmas to you and yours.
I got an e-mail from Robert
Irvine in one of your school photo's
identifying another couple of boys.
He is number 7 in the back
row and he said that the boy right in front
of him (No 7 in row 4) is called Joseph
Benton. He also said that the boy at No 3 in
the 4th row is called Robert Brodie, so that
would be almost everybody in that class
identified now, if you would like to update
it. Best regards, Brian Charlton.
