"Hi Adamswell , isnt it great that lots of us have had the opportunity to go to Sunday School. Lovely to read that you still have your wee Bible , and hope you have had a wee read of it too ! I think Mr Heron became Moderator of the Church of Scotland later on. Pity you lost your dad so young, it must have been hard for your mum to be left with such a young child, but it sounds like you turned out well.....and your mum did a good job.x"

"Jean, My family's eternal lives changed ..because of the visit of the Billy Graham team... in Scotland...mid 50's...because of that BG visit...in Glasgow...I will see my "earthly Daddy" again..one day. Have attended Billy's event's again..here in the USA. and participated in the preparation for Billy's coming... which begins many months ahead of that "Great One's" arrival... Not the REAL event.. just the precursor to HIS eventual coming.....my own wee PS...now that you mention it... I have a vague memory of the event of that wedding..I think there was a very visible "down town Glasgow pastor involved"... I wish I could remember his name.... but, knowing so many others (good friends) who managed to perusade the BG team, to come... to their town... in the USA... that one, name (would give me great pleasure to know) Does anyone remember it?
His church was downtown Glasgow ...???

"Hi Lesley, the minister you refer to was Rev. Tom Allan who was Minister of the Glasgow Tron Church in the CIty Centre. Still there to this day of course, right in the Centre of Buchanan Street. Just to let folks know , this church has just been refurbished...very up todate.....everyone is welcome to call in anytime during the day....door are open....Well worth a wee "keek" in. Jean."

"I was born at 24 St. James' Rd., Townhead (now gone) and was christened in the Barony, opposite the Cathedral. When we moved to Balornock when I was five, there were no churches in the schemes at that time and we had to hoof it to Springburn. I attended Springburnhill Parish Church (Hillkirk St., as we called it), until we moved to the Swedish houses, at which time Balornock Tron (later to be Tron St. Mary's) was established in a wee hut...then later a more substantial hall and then a "proper" church. The minister at Springburnhill was Dr. William Fitch, who gave me a Bible when I was 14 (pretty tattered and torn by now!). I believe I may have written before that he became minister of John Knox church in Toronto. Before he was "called," one of the elders of that church with whom I worked in an insurance company checked him out with me! At Balornock Tron, before a permanent minister was called we had this wonderful young Welshman and his wife...and now I wonder if he is the same one you mention. I remember his wife had a stillborn child and how the congregation were so sympathetic. He was tall (in my mind) and slender, and always punctuated everything with, "Listen!" Here I am over sixty years later and I can see him in my mind's eye as clear as if it were yesterday. I wonder if indeed he is the same Welshman by the name of Jones who served St. Rollox. Maisie"
