I was born in #10 Clyde Place in a group of miner's houses known as the Palace. The demise was the subject of the B.B.C. a few years ago. What was once coal miner's houses owned by the Hamilton Colliery is now under water and is called Strathclyde Park. I eventually immigrated to the United States in 1952 but I have made some visits back to my roots. I love Scotland, but the United States is my home. I remember paddling in the Clyde at the Bothwell Bridge, delving into books at the Hamilton Public Library and attending school at St. John's Grammar School. I was always a poor student and many of my teacher thought I was a slow learner. I did manage to go to college, get a master's degree and teach for 38 years. Not so bad for the class dunce.
