GM I was on the first demo after the Proteus berthed in the Holy Loch, on 3rd March 1961. There is a photo of us, Josh McRae, Nigel Denver, Jackie O'Connor with Morris and Marion Blythamn, taken on the gangway on the ferry just going into Dunoon, 4th March 1961. On the same day the photo was taken which adorns the sleeve of the Ding Dong Dollar album, I'm on the top right by the CND sign. It was either during the Press Conference with Captain Laning on the 3rd March or very soon after that he made the oft repeated quote that the demonstrators were ".... A goddam bunch of Eskimos " and it's definite proof of this quote I cannot find. I'm going to the British Lonrary of Thursday to check the Scotsman newspaper on microfilm.
Jim, times don't change ... last Saturday at the Dundee All Under One Banner, a pub refused service to the YES marchers.
