Hi thecaltondefender, I hope you dont mind me writing to you or anyone else who might help. You say in your above post causey has passed away in 2002, is this the same causey that lived in Stamford Street the first close past the bottom half of Dalserf Street, top flat? I last heard of him in the 70's living in Easterhouse, married with two kids. I would appreciate any information, if you are not sure who I am ask John Howarth (Howdy) I introduced him into the torch. All the best and thank you very much.

Hi caltondefender, I am really sorry to hear this, I liked wee causey, went to school wi him (Bernard St.) I worked in Jimmy Frears, bunching sticks, we had quite a good few laughs over the years. I also believe he was mostly responsible for the name torch taken from a Bob Hope film at the time. If you see Howdy would you mind telling I was asking, hope he is doing ok. If you are going to have a reunion, any chance letting me know? I remember Andy Bain, Geordie Cooper, Rab Connell George Hart (Harty) wee Shabb, its hard to remember that far back, if we ever get to meet I'll buy the beers!!!!! Can you tell me how he died. All the best andythomson. p.s. check out Friends reunited Bernard St. School page. cheers.
