Johnny comments<\/strong> – the unbeaten rugby XV of Colin Telfer\u2019s year. What is weird about this pic is that Curly Bill looks like Baillie Ruthven\u2026..were this the beginning of cloning I wonder?
Then I forgot to say your list of the RHS club members<\/a> actually should include Stewart Mackinnon who is one of the biggest movie producers in the UK now. – he spends half his life in London working and half in the Newcastle area where he is building a house\u2026.  He has had an illustrious career since leaving at 16, when he became an apprentice printer. Then he got to The Royal College of Art where he excelled, then eventually entered movies somewhere around the 80s if I remember. Recently he was co-producing with non other than Ridley Scott\u2026!!!
Anyway I have sent another pic from the 1961-2 pic of the guys – some people interesting\u2026.Back row of the  young pic 1961-2 C1 team – back row centre is Duncan Macara, to our right is again Rab Foreman, middle row far right is Stewart Mackinnon. Front row one in from the right is John Macnicol, son of the infamous Mekon (he was my best friend with Fred Warder beside him)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
