From The Herald Diary 1st June 2009
A Straight Talker - STORYTELLER Donald Nelson was working with a primary five class at Clydebank library when, at the end of the session, the teacher was struggling to get them in a neat line.
Donald joked with one of the boys that kids can learn how to use a complicated computer or mobile phone in a few minutes, but after five years at school still can't stand in a straight line.
"Ah am in a straight line - it's aw them that's no'," the lad replied.
Donald fears he has met a future politician.
Their Past Your Future Scotland
As part of a national initiative called Their Past Your Future Scotland, West Dunbartonshire Council is organising “Singers, Sirens and Silent Heroes”. Their Past Your Future Scotland Phase 2, is led in Scotland by Museums Galleries Scotland and funded by The Big Lottery. It brings young people and older generations together in our libraries and museums to capture oral histories that focus on the Second World War and all subsequent conflicts. West Dunbartonshire Council has been awarded funding towards its project ‘Singer, Sirens and Silent Heroes’ and is one of only 13 across Scotland to receive TPYF Scotland funding.
