  1. Laura was very popular as the previous posts imply. She loved her job and helping/ assisting all supporters. A true Caley Thistle fan. Apparently leaving was not of her choice. She will be missed, as a dedicated staff member with the Clubs best interests at heart will be difficult to replace.
  2. Treasurers was the barber's shop, the family stayed in Lilac Grove, #1 at the corner of Caledonian Road. Where exactly was the Treasurer's you're talking about Canuck? I seem to remember relatively recently that Billy Treasurer, who lived in that house on Lilac Grove but will be in his late 50s or maybe early 60s and hence probably the next generation down, had a barber's shop in the main front Market Hall off Academy Street. However there's also a bell ringing about a barber's in New market Hall between the Fishmarket and the main hall. Was the original Treasurer's nearer the back of the Locarno? Bily treasurer would indeed be about 60 years old. The shop was in the main hall on the right hand side going towards Academy St.from for example, Finklesteins the jewellers. I don't recall Treasurers being anywhere else.

  4. So was your sister's husband Pat Young then? And was it next door to Scotty's barber's shop that the hoover place was rather than him becoming the next tenant after Scotty? And exgrover... would Scotty Bernardi's barber's shop therefore have been where they eventually built River House in the early 60s to allow the Tax Offices etc to move from Longman Road? Charles, My brother in law is Malcolm (Mac) MacKenzie, he and Pat Young worked with the Hoover company at the same time and eventually left and started their own businesses. My brother in law's shop was next door to Dunky Holme's barber's shop on Huntly St. I believe Pat Young moved into Scotty's barber shop premises when Scotty retired.
  5. Scotty's shop was indeed at the bridge end of Greig St. at the corner of Huntly St. # 5 Greig St. My sister stayed at #3 next door in one of the top floor flats. Scotty and his wife stayed in one of the nice little bungalows in Wells St. He was well known for his corny jokes, he cut my hair for years when I went to the Central School. Dunky Holme's barber shop was on Huntly St. just before Celt St. my other Sister's husband had a hoover/ appliance repair shop next door. Many years ago Dunk and his family bought one of the houses at the very top of Fairfield Rd. on the right hand side of the Road just before the Canal.One of his 2 Sons Mike was quite well known in local football circles.
  6. Was Scotty's not further up Greig Street nearer the bridge, the shop eventually taken over by Pat Young the hoover repair man? PS - oops... I must be getting old. I see that in my post last night I actually repeated the anecdote about the meeting in Finlays which I initially quoted in my original post!

  8. Mac Dougall's Hotel, bottom of Church St. with Hay's furniture shop on one side and School Lane/Coutts newsagents on the other.
  9. There was a Bruce Shaw in my class in in the High School, I believe he stayed in theDochfour Dr./ Columba Rd. area, I lost touch with him after leaving School and did'nt know if he joined the Police. The Bruce I knew was a very strong swimmer and competed in School Galas and local swim meets.
  10. George Ross (Dalneigh boy) signed for Preston North End directly from Hilton Athletic, who were also in the juvenile league. George was a full- back and was a member of the Preston team who played in the English F.A. cup final against West Ham United at Wembley in 1964, sadly West Ham won. At that time Preston were in the old English first division. my old ex neighbour exgrover is really starting to ''do my head in!!!'' maybe he used to date one of my Sisters? they used to go to the 50/50 Club.
  11. Happy birthday to a very special Neice. Hard to believe ??? years have passed! Enjoy whats left of your day, it is only 3.20 pm over here. will be in touch. Unk canuck.
  12. It definately was the Plough. at the corner of Eastgate and Stephen's Brae on the left hand side as you climb the Brae. George Follen was Eddie Follen's son. George ran the billiard hall when Eddie's health deteriorated, I remember him having severe respitary problems. The Follen family originally hailed from Cameron Road/Square. George did indeed work at the swimming baths, many moons ago he also had a part time job delivering morning rolls for one of the local bakers, I used to see him when I was on my paper round! George's Father in law was Dusty Miller, I'm sure some of our users will remember Dusty as one of the cooks at the old Boys Brigade camps in Carrbridge. George is still doing well, he and his wife Jean live in Laggan Road.
  13. If the period of time was 45 years,the gents clothes shop would have been Johnstone's and the barber's on the opposite corner was Treasurer. The Treasurers, like yourself, were exgrovers who lived at #1 - what was your old house number?
