16 Oct 2008, (GlescaPal jasdell) Jim Waddell,
Huntingdon, Cambridge.
Hi my name is Jim Waddell.I was born at 65 Mollinsburn St.
Springburn in 1937. The schools I went to whilst there were,
Mollinsburn St Primary, Gourlay St, Colston Rd and Elmvale St.
I then moved to 3 Glebe St in the Townhead where I went to
Townhead Primary and then on to the City Public.
I joined the RAF in 1954 and served three years as a cook. After a
spell working in Sheffield I returned to Glasgow (my parents had now
moved to 14 Morrin Square) where I became a tram driver until just
before they were made redundant. I then got married and moved to
Lesmahagow. My marriage didn't last so I went back into the RAF, in
1965, as a Dental Technician. After demob I went to work in Germany,
circa 1970, having learned the language. In Germany I was offered a
job with NAAFI and I became a shop manager. I returned to England,
still with NAAFI in 1983 and lived in Chippenham in Wiltshire, then
my wife, who I had met whilst in Germany, and I moved to our present
location. Ramsey Forty Foot near Huntingdon Cambridge. I had two
children from my first marriage and they both live in Gosport,
England. I am now retired. This is a precis of my life, as I would
need a book to fill in the details. Thank you all for the welcome to
'GlescaPals' and I hope I will spend some time on a great site. |
