most recent entry/update |
John Light (left EA 2008)
Alan, hope that you are fit and well, and that the medical work (and politics) are moving forward! Had this news about two Ballantine lads:
Jamie has done particularly well recently. We all went down to his RAF base as he had finished elementary flying training. The RAF laid on a wonderful day for all of the families with an airshow and super food. At the end there was an awards ceremony which we were not expecting - Jamie had told us he had thought he had performed well on the course but as you know Jamie is very over confident! There were three awards and he received the VT Aerospace trophy for best performance in the Air and the Dickson Trophy for best All Round performance, in the Air and on the Ground. We were all so so proud. Due to his performance on this course he is now in the Fast Jet stream and begins that training in July. Brodie has just finished his first year at Edinburgh University in Maths but has decided to change course to Biology next year. |

Academy memoir |
Ken Cameron (1962-67) has got in touch to say that he is currently working on a memoir of his time at the Academy...
"I am working on a memoir of my time at the Academy. In doing so, I find that I have forgotten many things, and I think it certain that I have incorrectly remembered many others.
It occurs to me that a partial remedy for both of these problems would be to draw on the recollections of my contemporaries at the Academy. I have in mind doing this by posting the memoir as a work in progress on my own website, providing a facility for commenting on it, and inviting comments from fellow Accies."
Please click on 'read more' below to read his memoirs so far and make your own additions/amendments! |

Watt Memorial Trust |
The Watt Trust was set up in 1983 in memory of Rob Watt (S1911-16) and his wife Barbara. He was a distinguished OF, whose teaching career ended with eleven years as Rector of the Edinburgh Academy (1951-62). In retirement he returned to his old school, where he was Keeper of the Fettes Register until 1979.
The aim of the Trust is to give financial assistance to past and present members of Fettes and the Edinburgh Academy, to enable them to “advance their education or professional training beyond the point at which public funds or university scholarships are available, or when private or family sources alone are not quite adequate for the purpose.”

In The News - September 2008 |
|
September heard Niall Dickson on Radio 4 and saw a feature on Duncan Campbell. Letter writers have been active, including Ranald Coyne and Chad McCail, who was defending himself against a review last month. The critics were kinder to Nick Keir over his new album released last month. Nineteenth-century Academical Sir John Macdonald and his passion for early motoring were mentioned in the press, while we bring you up to date with twenty-first-century rugby stars, Mike Blair, his brothers David and Alex, Phil Godman, Dave Callam and Ross Rennie. |
