ALLO ALL, Alastair put up immediately a report of the meeting at Ballinafad which you can see at Update 45 on the main site http://www.electricscotland.com/ssf/fall45.htm. There are wonderful pictures as well as Alastair,s own reflections. Yes, we would like to tell you about the everyday life. In earlier updates,we get a glimpse. But through the oral history project we have done interviews with the elders to do just this, through the website and in a book being prepared by Joan Kadoke.This will be a long process.
In the meantime, you can consult eric Sloane,s book, Sketches of America Past.Or the history of the Bon Accord settlement in John Connon.s book,
ELORA. Once again, the Fallbrook serendipity stands strong. For it is my great great grandfather,s diary,George Elmslie which is quoted in detail on pg.64 as he was one of the first white settlers to arrive from Aberdeen.
If you have stories to tell, please post on the forum. That is what it is for. Our next update tomorrow will be the official report of the meeting from the newly elected president,Bill McKay, great grandson of the patriarch of Fallbrook, Donald. Good night, Sandy McKay, crofter descendant.
