I was pleased
to receive an email from Bill Paterson, twenty-two years after I
took the photo of him at the Whittock & Reid workshop, as part of my
personal project, photographing 'People at work in Edinburgh' in the
1990s. |
Bill wrote:
My Retirement
"You may be aware that I retired in
1999. The death of old man, Campbell Reid, in 1999 and my
retirement were unfortunately the death knell for such an
illustrious company."
