Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The glesga eskimos
"The above" however is incorrect. We formed the Glasgow Eskimos some time after the Proteus berthed in the Holy loch. The canoeists, by the way had come up from England and this is well documented on various bums paper, the Glasgow Herald, the Guardian and many Armeriscan newspapers. I have spent the last few months scanning American. English and Scottish newspapers covering the period of January to June 1961. The term Eskimo was coined AFTER the Proteus arrived, of this I am 100% sure, I was there.
