Louise (Cavani) Brog My Home Town
01/Oct/2001:21:04:53
It has been a few months since I first registered with the 3towners
site and have been very fortunate to have 'met up' with some old
friends from my home town and also from my school days at St. Mary's
and St. Peter's. I was born and raised in Saltcoats - 1949 and lived
and worked there until 1981 when I 'emigrated' to England with husband
Peter and our son Stephen. Our son is 30 now and still considers
Ardrossan to be his home town. Although he was only just 10 when we
brought him south of the border to live he still retains his Scottish
accent - thankfully!
Want to say 'hello and thanks ' to all who have taken the time -&-
trouble to contact me and who have stayed in touch since.
It is such a lovely feeling when someone you had known many years ago
and had lost touch with, suddenly appears on your screen saying 'Hi'.
Thank you again for this great site and for giving us all the chance of
enjoying a 'walk' down memory lane.
Regards,
Louise

Hi Hugh I think your page is really good . Born and bred in Ardrossan
and spent most of my ( married ) life in Saltcoats I know what a three
towner is. I have helped to produce a video called the threee towns
history which the final version was not to my expectations. This video
is obtainable at the North Ayrshire Museum but if they charge you for
it take them to court. Only Joking! I love the TOWNS

We are trying to get in touch with as many people as possible for a
reunion before we are too old and decrepit to travel etc! I have 3
brothers and 2 sisters who were brought up in Ardrossan and have many
happy memories of there. (It aint half changed a lot recently? Busbie
Drive where I used to live has a posh name of Strathclyde Terrace! and
where did Kirkhall Drive go!! I must admit that it does look a bit
nicer but not the same as I remember it.)
Mario, Peter, Tony, Caterina and Vera are their names and I am still
friends with Margaret Carpenter, Frances Tinney and Teresa Magee who
has returned from living in London all her life, to live in Glasgow for
a while. It would be great if anyone could get in touch, PLEASE. email
me at mariadicarlo46@hotmail.com

Hello everybody and especially big hellos to Elizabeth Mitchell,
Stephen McCabe, Mark Gallacher and Martin and Val Coleman. There's a
new Yahoo group started for ex- St.Michael's pupils from 1968-74
(stmichaels1968to74) and any former pupils can join and check up on old
pals. Mark, Martin and Val, I'll probably bump into you three in
Safeways but Elizabeth and Stephen get in touch via my email.

I keep coming back to this wonderful site, hoping I might find
ancestors. At first I thought I was looking for a Mary Buchanan, but
have recently found that I may be looking for a Mary Robertson, b 1836,
Saltcoats. She married David Walker, Jan 18, 1861 in Ardrossan.
Enjoyed the Butcher Shop, Hugh.
Regards, Catherine

Great web site - I've really enjoyed looking at those old school
photos. I attended St. Peter's Primary when it was in Ailsa Gardens
(in fact I lived right next door to it at 13 Ailsa Gardens) then went
to St. Michaels. I am still friendly with Frances Tinney and Maria Di
Carlo and like them would like to get in touch with as many old school
mates as possible with a view to a reunion - maybe in our 50th year.

It has been very interesting reading the guest book and recognizing
names from the past.
My name is Frank Behan. I was born in Saltcoats in 1947. My father was
Frank Behan who worked at ICI in the work study group, and my mother
was Kittie Behan(MacSween) who was born in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis. I
have three older sisters, Eleanor who is married to Michael McCann, son
of the late Dr. McCann; Francine who emigrated to America in the early
sixties, and Annette who married Willie Armstrong from Ardrossan.
I attended Ardrossan Academy primary school and then Stevenston High
School between 1961-1964. I was a dunce at school but pretty good at
sports, playing football for the Stevenston school team. My buddies
back then included Dougie Barber, Hunter Dempster, Charlie Meanagh,
Tommy Walker, Jim Love, Colin Wilson and Jake Campbell,who was captain
of the school football team and as fine a player as I saw in school
football. I now live in Oakville, Ontario, just west of Toronto. I am sel

An excellent web site,Ileft Saltcoats in 1976 and rarely have the
opportunity to visit, now I can.

Just recently heard about this site. What a great source of
information from the past. I am one of the seven Morrsions from Sannox
Drive, Saltcoats. Went to St. Marys, St. Peters (for one year) and St.
Michaels. Emigrated to Canada in 1972. Just viewed the reunion
photograph at the Seamill Hydro, was amazed at the number of faces I
recognized. I still have contact with some really good friends from my
youth, had my own reunion here in Canada last year, it was awesome!!
Thanks to Anne (Chalmers) Purdie for bringing them all to Canada.
Anyone else out there remember me, I would love to hear from you. To
Tim Reid, I still have a picture of you and Jim and myself at our first
communion! To the recent influx from Saltcoats that attended Stephen
Reid's (son of Angus and Kathleen Reid) wedding in Canada this month,
thanks for the fun and the memories, seeing all those Scottish men in
dress kilts took my breath away and made me quite home sick. Thanks
Hugh for creating this site,
