Big Tim:

"
Hey, Hamish Whyte: I used to know him well, worked together in the Mitchell Library.
"

Think he's still there (curator of the Rare MS Collection). Hamish and I were at school (Hutchie) thegither, but ... this is bloody odd ... nine year old entrants (me) and eleven year olds (him) didn't seem to mix.

Then we were at Uni thegither. BUT (again) ... This was at the height of The Glasgow Language Wars, and at that point, Hamish wasn't in the loop.

Then, of course, he turned into Eddie Morgan's Official Bibliographer, and started The Mariscat Press.

His latest poem is in the latest issue of _The Coffee House_. Last night, I was giving a joint reading with Debbie Tyler-Bennet (editor of The Coffee House)and she said, "You been in touch with Hamish recently?"

Answer is no, I have enough trouble remembering where my toes are located.

I'll see if I can at least dig out what Hamish sent me on the origins of CLO&OJ.

Bloody small world, i'n'tit?

Irrelevant Robin.
