Just for the record I note that I am recorded in the list of Glamis house captains and a sports photograph as William mitchell - should be Wilson Mitchell.

Thanks,

Wilson Mitchell - class of 1960.

Good to hear from you Wilson. Would like to hear more from you on the Forum. Where are you now?

If there's anything worse than seeing our name spelled wrongly, it's seeing our name presented back-to-front! I'm sure it would be corrected if you pointed this out - mark you, in these austere times, you may have to pay for the painter yourself - but it would be worth it! Tell us more about what you are up to!

Hi Ian,
I live about 35 miles from New York in New Jersey. Married with 3 sons and 5 grandchildren.
After leaving school, I graduated from the University of St. Andrews and then completed my accountancy with Miller, McIntyre & Gellatly, 20 Reform Street. Ian Brown, another Morgan FP (who sadly passed away last summer) recruited to me to join Peat,Marwick, Mitchell & Co (subsequently KPMG) in Kingston, Jamaica. I was there 10 years, became a partner, married my wife Wendy and our 3 sons were born there. In 1978 we moved to New York where I practised until I retired.
I keep in touch with Bryan Stenson who lives with his wife, Frances, in the south west of France and every now and again I hear or see John Taylor who is currently living in Turkey.
I am planning to visit Scotland this August.
Kind regards,
Wilson

Congratulations on your personal and professional trajectory, Wilson - and on your admirable ability to report interestingly and concisely. You keep in touch with 100% more Morgan FPs than I do. My sole personal contact is Graeme Kidd who lives in NE England. We have met there as well as in Edinburgh on the regular visits that my wife and I have made to Scotland. Graeme and I shared a flat in Aberdeen for a couple of years when we were students in the '60s and made a memorable trip to Orkney together one Easter vacation. I worked in the Caribbean – Cuba, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, Belize, Venezuela and Guyana on the evaluation of agricultural research and development projects.
