Alex Robertson memories

From Alex. Robertson

It is great to hear the old school group are having these celebrations. Unfortunately due to distance will not make it, however I would be glad to keep contact with any of my former friends, whom I made during 1960-1963 in 3B2 (prior to that I was at Fernieside Primary School).

While I am still active in sport, it is with regret that I heard (after the event) that we had lost Bruce Hay. I had the good fortune to know Bruce - and his brother David, well. Actually I gave Bruce his first rugby lessons on how to tackle in 1962 at the request of our PT teacher. Then, as we had few players, we mixed years to form a team and as a result we played together. In the years after we both left school it was always magic to chat together in the street, or at games (I later played for Musselburgh RFC).



Since 2002 I have been racing professionally in NASCAR here in the USA, which I enjoy a lot, as seen in some of my PR photos (attached). Plus I own my own Management Consulting business here San Diego, California, where I help design of professional TV equipment used by all the major TV companies in the world.
