Last night's talk in the Dick Institute by Stuart Wilson attracted an audience of around 50 despite the horrible weather. He spoke about the activities in 3 particular companies;Andrew Barclay & Son; Glenfield & Kennedy and Blackwood& Morton (BMK). Stuart paid tribute to the contribution to the war effort made by these firms and especially to the part played by the women who served in WINS (Women's Industrial National Service).
There were many interesting contributions from members of the audience, including several from a delightful lady who had actually worked in the "Glen" during WW II. In describing her efforts to operate what she described as a"terrible machine", she added with a smile; "It's where I learned to swear!"
