Memories of Glasgow
There is 1 message in this section.

Jose Quiros from San Jose, Costa Rica. Posted 16 Oct 2006.
I took my wife and daughter to live and study in Glasgow (Glasgow University) between 1972 and 1975. I also worked in Grangemouth and Glasgow. Our second daughter was born at Queen Mother Hospital in 1974. We lived on New Haven Terrace, across from the Botanic Gardens, near Byers Road. The years in Glasgow were among the happiest years for my family and we consider Glasgow a sentimental home we hope to visit the city soon, now that I am approaching retirement. I am specially fond of Bearsden, Dumbarton and the towns North of Glasgow. My mother, who visited us in 1974, loved Edinburgh particularly. My wife loves Stirling and its castle. I love the entire country, even its food. I exagerate a bit, maybe only the beer and breakfast. Glasgow. Jose Quiros, U.S. Embassy, San Jose, Costa Rica
