Facing the third degree

1. As a long-term resident of Cumbernauld, what in your view is the town’s greatest strength?

Really good neighbours, especially in Seafar where I live. Even some of the newer folk are special to me and being in my 80s now, it’s nice to know they are around if you need help in any way.

2. What is your favourite song?

My Way by Frank Sinatra because my late husband Jim thought he was good at singing it - so I just let him think that!

3. What part of your life do you look on with most affection?

When I came to Cumbernauld from a tenement in the Gallowgate in 1962 with Jim and our two girls - with a new house I was in heaven!

4. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?

To get a computer. I’m able to keep in touch with friends via email. I use Skype to contact my sister in Palm Springs USA every Sunday night.
