    Default Miller Academy

    I was born in 1967 and must have started at Miller Academy age 4/5 so 1971/1972 and I left about 1975. I remember being in class with Ann Bews & Kenny Falconer, but can't remember anyone else really. All the listings I have seen for those years, the names don't seem familiar, although I guess I was quite young and just don't remember. I am just curious to see who I know now that was in class with me all those years ago, and if anyone can remember who our teachers were, I seem to remember a Mrs Bell?? Anyone cast any light??

    Well I was born in 69 so would have been a year or two below you, I went from 75 to 81 I think. I remember Mrs Bell, she was my primary 2 teacher I think. Also remember Ms Miller, McIvor, Mrs Monroe, Mrs Anderson, Mrs Faulds, Mrs Robertson and a few others.

    Just hearing the term 'top gate' bring back lots of memories. I, on the other hand, was more to used to heading for home via the 'bottom gate'.
