Memories of The Dookit

Hi Bill

Bill you might remember me, I wrote to you a couple of years back. My name is Chick Frame from the old Buggie building. Now of Perth Western Australia. First I want to congratulate you on the splendid job you are doing with Bla'an'tir's Ain Website

I have just now, once again read James Cornfield's poem: Childhood Memories of Blantyre, and once again got that lump in my throat that it always gives me. The reason I am writing is because I know he doesn’t use a computer so I would like you to offer him my heart felt praise for the job he did.  I swear he stole the memories right out of my head, because that’s just exactly what I remember myself.

I remember seeing a Tarzan picture in the old Dukit and there was Cheeta munching into a bunch of bananas, and for the life of me I couldn’y remember even what they tasted like. I remember going across the road to Bowies fruit shop where right there in the window was a stooky bunch  of fifes bananas. I also remember one of the boys suggesting going into the chemist shop next door to buy a packet of chocolate laxative, because you didn’y need any coupons. Probably lucky we had no money left.
 
Best of luck

Chick Frame

P.S.  I send you these couple of pictures as memories from the old Dukit.
