Aberdeen coin club , 1982
Here I am at Aberdeen Coin Club.
As I remember myself, I was reserved, serious, very polite , with a strong moral sense and rather judgemental. I had, also, an almost contradictory side, which was adventurous and romantic, easily inspired by Biggles and the thought of foreign places, and I was desperate to see the world. Oddly, this curiosity was not shared by my peers who were, with the exceptions, a little dull. But this perhaps because they had television sets, which our family did not.
I had a instinct for the mystery of things and loved to visit the antique fair in the Amatola Hotel near our house and speculate on the history of the objects I found there. Collecting coins and joining the coin club followed from this instinct, and I joined with Scott Anderson.
