I went to the Dunoon Library today planning on checking the local paper microfiched archives -- couldny as they've not been done 1950-1980! Think they must hope for more funding - the previous stuff had special grants? (possibly from EU I vaguely recall---)
Shave as that would have been free and pretty easy. Now I'll need to make an appointment / pay per hour and wear white gloves to trawl through the paper's own archives- - not till after next week tho!
I did check /skim read a couple of books in the library (Andrene Messerschmid's American Years -- I probably mis-spelt her name, sorry - and GG Giarchi's Between Polaris and MacAlpine but nothing leapt out at me- - there were some great pictures from Herald and Times archives of protesters sitting outside the pier entrance and sailors trying to step through them!
Think there might be some other books / records in the museum, shall visit there too.
Or - Ake if you are in town with time to spare - -- ???!
