Buddie Marvelous Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Think a day spent in the reference library is on the cards, as the internet is poor when looking for facts on Ferguslie Primary school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddie Marvelous Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Still looking for ex pupils /teachers for some facts or to share some memories of the old school. There are a few "popular" members on the forum who attended FPS, before we moved to Oakshaw in 1974. Please share some of your stories.

Buddie Marvelous Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Photo sent to me. Ferguslie Primary 3 probably about 1973....

Russian Saint Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Still livingI kinda lost touch with a lot of folks as I’d been working overseas. If it’s the same Monkey I’m thinking about his mood could change like the weather. Had a run in with the local constabulary after jumping one of my team mates as he was getting into his car after a game (if it’s the same guy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent_Mara Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I work as a journalist in an international company and am just now writing a voluminous essay not the topic "ten years after graduation" about how people meet after graduating from a university or school and how they exchange experiences. Here you can view my profile https://edubirdie.com/dissertation-writing-services and make sure that I am a true writer. I am interested in your comments! Write to me, or here in the topic. How you find your classmates on the Internet. And how your life has changed since leaving school / college. I really need it. Thanks in advance.

How you find your classmates on the Internet. And how your life has changed since leaving school / college. I really need it. Thanks in advance. Hi! Here's my story. I'm Ryan and it's been 11 years since my graduation. I keep in touch with 3 of my classmates, they are still my bros 😁. As for the others, we are connected on social media, facebook and instagram mostly, sometimes I look for the classmates on linkedin. It's quite easy to find the guys from class on facebook, I mostly look for familiar names in college groups. As for the girls, it's a bit harder as many of them got married and changed their last names. How has my life changed? Well, quite a lot. I got married, have 2 sons and we are expecting our third. I used to work at https://essayreviews.net/ . I used to do research of the service of different companies but I changed my career path lately - I decided to be a teacher and now I teach English at school. And to be honest, I like this job much better. Edited December 28, 2020 by beverlyburns1984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
