He loved 1st Gourock C.D.O. and after my mother Jean's premature death, the troop became as much his 'family' as my brother and I were. Ist Gourock may owe a lot to DB, but he owed a lot to it too. They were happy days indeed. I came across this page by accident, and was thrilled to read such lovely things about my father, Donald.

Brian Hodgson was my first SM, followed by Ian Blake ("JR") and Bob Miller. This was an environment where the essential fun and wholesomeness of Scouting managed to come through consistently. Memorable Easter and summer camps at: Blairmore, Tarbert, Pitlochry, Benderloch, West Loch Tarbert (several), Tayvallich, Arduaine/Kilmelford, Roseneath I was a Scout, PL, JASM and ASM with the 70th from 1954 to 1965 and I remember those days with great affection as the highlight of my teenage (and early adult) years.
