Jim's Funeral

James P Shields's funeral was this morning and the club was fairly well represented. His son had said on Sunday night that he only wanted people who had known Jim there and also expressed a preference for a small funeral. When I got to Hume Street with Doug Gemmell, Johnny B MacLachlan was waiting for us. John Wright arrived soon after thet and then once we were seated inside, Phil arrived. David Panton was in the row in front. Thereafter we went to Dalnottar Old Cemetery and were joined by Bill Hislop for the short service, It's a pity that it had to be during the Clydebank Fair or other former members would also have been there.
