Hello Colin, just taking a chance here! Would you please be so kind as to keep an eye out for Colin Patterson who left O'mund in 1975, and after moving around a bit I believe he settled in Scotland! I'm sure there are plenty of Patterson's in Scotland, but this one supports Heart of Midlothian! If that's not pathetic enough, his brother John supports Queen of the South. They were always troubled children.........
Still, I would love to make contact with him again.
Regards, Ricky Barron.

That brings back memories, your dad reckoned that you could shout down the hold of any ship in any harbour in the world and a jock accent would answer you! I always said that the voice would say:" How do mend this bloody engine"!
Give Jock my regardsand ask him if he still remembers the words to "Bonny Dundee" and Whisky in the Jar"

That is correct, the first time it happened his response was to push his specs up his nose and walk away muttering about the Welsh, sheep and wellingtons. Hell of a boy was Frankie. Hope Jock is keeping well

Geraldine also phoned me on Thursday and faxed through her and Billy;s papers..... got goosebumps again when she recounted the story about the oranjemunders meeting up in a pub in Glasgow..... according to Jacques De Jager, his father in law, Billy Summers ( and Dorothy) should also be coming up for the reunion....
