collie writes about her busy summer
Dear Editor, Staff and Readers. of the
Lucknow Sentinel:
At last I have a moment to sit and draw
breath, Through the past few. months; , I
haven't 'forgotten you but life has been so
crowded for me that I began to think I'd turn •
into one of those once -a -year -at -Christmas
letter writers.
Special thanks go to those who have kept
me in touch with your part of the world in
spite of my long silence, particularly Sheila
Campbell. of Lucknow who sends me lots of
fascinating cuttings, also Mary Alton who
sends me photographs of herself and her
handsome grandson. I must say she looks
terrific though I know she hasn't been well
and also suffered recently from broken ribs.
I hope she's quite Well again by now.
Another faithful 'correspondent is Marg-
aret Pritchard who was so kind to me when I
was in Canada, taking me • to her home in
Toronto for meals and showing me the city'
sights. She'll be pleased to hear that Mrs.
• Campbell sent me cuttings of articles by
"The Country Mouse". which I, read with
great interest. I enjoy hearing about her
trips to the Blyth. Theatre and of the new
plays that are staged there.
Thank you, too, to Mrs. Murdie and Mrs.
Brown.fortheir letters. The Legion was sorry
not' to have them here for our pensioners'
outing .this summer, one of the best ever in
one of the best ever summers that ' went on
and' on and on, so long in fact that we . have
quite 'serious water problems,
I'm told Myrtle and John Spivak and K.
K. Dawson have had -health.. problems but
hope they'rvbetter now and keep well in the
years ahead. I often think of them all, also of
the- MacDonalds whose 'children will be
grown 'now beyond recognition, Cora and
Bill Caesar, Olive Blake, Elma Black, Phyllis
Morrison, everybody 'out there who showed
me kindness. I remember you all. Some day,
hopefully, I'll be back.
You may recall that when you first invited
me to Dungannon's birthday celebrations, I
said I couldn't come but would send a
relative of your founder, Daisy (Susan) Bogle
nee Mallough: You'll be sorry to learn that in
May of this year, her youngest son, Stephen,
aged 19, was knocked from his motor cycle
and very' seriously injured. For a time, it was
feared he'd lose a•leg and his parents were
in great distress. However, he is progressing
well. •
We saw him on television one night when
they showed .a new medical invention, a
plaster with windows that could be opened,
allowing wounds to be dressed. We're not
sure yet how permanent oi; extensive . the
damage is but I see him sometimes in town
looking very cheerful and bouncing about on
his crutches. Fortunately he has • many
friends who don't allow,him to Mope.•
We are saddened by other troubles in the
town. Last week I.R.A. terrorists shot dead
two family men, one a civilian • aged 23,
father of two young children, the other a part
time member of the U.D.R.; father, of three,
, Dungannon has never seen bigger funerals
or more 'tears:
For .myself, I'm' busy as always with my
home, husband,. garden, pets, Legion Work,
writing and travel. Already: I've been to
England three times this year, ending up
each time with, my son in London. All being
well, I hope to go over again in November.
My son is working now as a trainee reporter
with an Anglo American publishing com-
pany.
In May I travelled to Liverpoolto see the
TO THE EDITOR
Festival of Gardens which was ma>`vsllous
then on to Llandudno in. . Wales as Branch
delegate to the Legion Conference, after-
wards going south to Newport where I met a
"girl" I served with at Fighter Command
H.Q. at the end of the last war. We were
re -introduced through . my writings in a
London magazine which. I found very
exciting. We knew each other ,at once and
the years between didn't seem to matter at.
all. I've also re -met other ex -WRAF friends'
this year and will be attending a W.A.A.F.
Reunion in Bangor next month.
I was away for tendays, travelling about,
seeing friends and relatives and celebrating
with my son, I didn't really mean to go again
so soon but . after he finished at the Royal
College of Art and started work, I just had to
whizz over, flying out on Sunday, back on
Wednesday. We had a super time, eating
Strange .food in . Soho and ' attending a
Graham Greene lecture at the National Film
Theatre, followed by the showing of his most
recent film, the first I'd seen in 15 years as
terrorists blew up our Dungannon cinema at
the beginning of the Troubles. A new one is
at last under construction and should be
finished soon. I'll be keeping my•fingers
crossed that it will be allowed to survive!
Oh, another thing - I won the Cup for roses
at our annual Flower Show last week!
Tomorrow I'm helping with a jumble sale for
the church. It's ,all huff, puff and h.lstle
bustle. Think of me some times.
With love to you all,
(Mrs.) Mollie Whiteside.
