Scotland


I was with Gail for three weeks in Scotland in 1966, squeezing every day for the history and geography of the Cowan / Colquhoun clan and the land our ancestors had left centuries before.

After returning to Pittsburgh, Gail asked me to help her with a project she had in mind. She had volunteered to give a slide show on Scotland for the local chapter of disabled persons. She wanted to share the beauty she had seen with others who could not have gone themselves. I got to run the projector as she let our pictures show her love of a land so far away in time and space. It was a generous act, and generously received.
