a few years ago the club myself and rab where in folded.so some of some us joined inveresk club. rab was a big strong man who i dont think knew his own strength.some Fridays he would grab me by the top of the arm and pull me to the side.then he would say remember son it is you and me against all them.meaning the other members in a friendly sort of way. rab will be missed but not the bruising on my arm .

many years ago rab gave me and my brother in law a young bird as we had just started it was a cracker so we didnt race it in

the winter of that year he asked how it got on and we told him we didnt race he then proceeded to give us a row as all

other birds  that nest had won as young birds it went on to win leyland in the mighty tranent club and topped the fed as well great guy and a lifelong friend of jim whitson of j and g whitson fame never did get the stories of ther timein malta in the navy rest in peace mate a great pigeon man and a good friend
