Gallagher writes
"I have listed below in the names of the Students I can remember
who were in St Columbas with me . . . I am going to send this to my then classmates
Norman Turnbull and Richard Sloan and also to Terry Madden
and Frank Barnes who were the year ahead of me to see if they can remember
any other names."
Many thanks for starting the ball rolling, Michael.
