Eunice Morley's story (from FB May '21):
Hello. Have really enjoyed reading everyone’s stories, this has really made me smile so thank you, Hazel. I was lucky to work with several of you early on. I did my Pre-Reg in Gartnavel General with Julie, followed by a brief stint at RAH Paisley with Joan, then worked for 4 years in the Victoria, when I did an MSc Clinical Pharmacy at the same time as Derna and Pamela. Ended up doing my dream job of paediatric oncology at the RHSC Glasgow, where I worked with Lesley. My husband John's training then took priority (the primary school boy/medical student mentioned in the yearbook, who I eventually married when he was old enough – to put the record straight he’s only 2 ½ years younger than me). We moved around England living in Leeds and Exeter before settling just outside Oxford, where I’ve been lucky to find a job in paed onc again. No kids but 2 cats, and 10 amazing nieces and nephews, and our first great-nephew (yikes!) born 2 weeks ago. Don’t think I’ve seen any posts here about grandchildren yet, but guess that will be coming soon for many of you. Enjoying English village life, and have thrown myself into the book group, running club, gardening club, and wine-tasting group in our community village pub, none of which I’m very good at except the latter. We do miss Scotland though and look forward to being able to visit family and friends up north regularly again soon.

Alison Macdonald's story (from FB May '21):
It's been amazing looking through all the posts. Such good memories. Thanks, Eunice Morley for sending me the link. I haven't seen anyone mentioning they ventured north in their career. I think my yearbook profile said the call of the wild was calling me north again. And north I stayed. I had a terrible pre-reg in an Aberdeen independent pharmacy where my " tutor" went off on maternity leave about a month after I arrived and I seemed to spend my days out delivering prescriptions and oxygen cylinders to patients. I then moved to Cullen and worked for a year in an independent pharmacy there. That was lovely but all I wanted was to get back "home" to the Isle of Lewis. (The Runrig song "Going Home" was my theme song in uni). A job came up in the local hospital in Stornoway so I switched over to hospital pharmacy for 8 years. I married Ian in 2001. I then went back to community pharmacy with Boots in Stornoway full-time at first then part-time after I had my three children. Catherine is 18 and studying Gaelic and History at Glasgow Uni, Angus is 16 and Eilidh 14. A few years locuming followed then two years ago I went back to full-time community pharmacy- to pay for my children's university! We moved to the Isle of Harris in 2015 so I drive 37 miles each way to work in Stornoway every day. (Lewis and Harris are connected by landmass but different Islands, it's all to do with chieftains long ago) And that's my story so far. I have no extra degrees, no exotic places that I have lived and haven't crossed paths with anyone from our class in university in a very long time!
