Words of Wisdom

Janes, how did you start a conversation with two members of depeche mode? and why did you post a link that doesn't work? I'm so vexated...

Cocobro, that's a handsome n-phew you got there, he does us proud. His name is Thomas Alexander Clarke-Prince. Just to let everyone else know... !!! Jaybird and I are so proud!!!

Here's a coo picto: this feller's got a conference dedicated to him in Sydney and cocobean123 himself will be attending and giving a brilliant paper. Who's excited! It's all about the Benjamins... (that's the name of my paper).

A quick note to MG Rowe: what you at?? where you at??

I'll leave you all with an interesting revelation I was revelated by whilst googling myself:

I compiled something for your website when my mother, Catherine Crosbie, reached her 100th birthday. Sadly have to tell you that she died on 19th April this year 2004. Quite peacefully, in reasonable health and still in her sound mind. Best wishes Lin Thomas

This is a photo of my mother, Catherine Crosbie, taken on the day of her 100th birthday, 19 October 2000. As you can see she is holding the card from the Queen, which now replaces the redundant telegram!

Mum was born in Maybole, as were her two brothers Peter and William Tweedily and her sister Elizabeth (Lizzie) who married Maybole businessman George Mulvein in the early 1930s. Uncle Peter, the eldest, died in August 1979 aged 81. My uncle Bill, who was a stalwart member of the British Legion and the bowling club in Maybole died in Ayr aged 97 in 1995. Her sister, who will be 95 in February, lives near Bristol, so there is longevity in the family!

As Miss Tweedily my mother taught at Dalrymple Primary School from 1920 to 1928, when she left to marry Tom Crosbie.
