Dear Vivek:
I was delighted to get your letter and to know that you still have fond
memories of both Mrs. Goss, your Linlithgow matron, and me. We will always
cherish our memories of BCS where we spent 9 very happy years in the company
of you wonderful students and a team of dedicated teachers with whom it was
such a pleasure to work (and play – I was the second eleven soccer coach and
even coached a hockey team to victory one year, and was proudly invited into
the Spartan Club.).  It is a matter of profound satisfaction and pride to
know that you and so many of your colleagues have done so well in life and
have been such worthy ambassadors of the Old School.  This is a teacher’s
true reward and I find great satisfaction in your accomplishments and wish
you continued success in all your future endeavours.  I also compliment you
all on the beautiful letters you write and the amazing respect and affection
with which you regard your “old” teachers – a rare commodity in these times.
(Yes, I for one, am going to be 90 in another few weeks}.

With all good wishes to you and to the Old Cottonians with whom you are in
touch, Ronald Goss (BCS 1956-64)

Good Evening Mr Goss Sir!

I was overjoyed to receive your mail and your expressing the wonderful years  spent at BCS.

It is vital for all of us to appreciate, acknowledge and respect our teachers who laid down the foundation of our upbringing at School, at home and later in the big wide world.

I am elated too that you are soon 90 and still lead an active life in Canada! Congratulations Sir!

Today’s Generation Y are fast moving, impatient to reap rewards quickly round the corner ( possible our parents thought the same on us Gen Xs!) and we all hope they will not burn

out too soon, spending nearly 50% of their work day glued to the mobile. They need to breathe easy and relax, in fact surveys state young executives jumping directly into a Gym directly after office is not going to make them healthier. We were taught that it takes patience and knowledge to achieve success.

We need to give our youngsters roots but also give them wings..

My Kindest Regards and Every Best Wish Sir.

Vivek
