Born in Glasgow in 1944 Anna Thomson, maiden name Fraser, went to Govan and Penilee High School.
My memories are happy ones. As a child I had four lovely brothers and sisters who I'm still very close too and stay in touch with regularly, even though we've moved all over Britain.
Thoughts of luxury when I was a child were of chocolate biscuits. Now my grandchildren just want to go to McDonald's. My, how things have changed.
I think things in the past maybe appeared simpler but weren't. It's just that we accepted things as they were, instead of talking about them in the open, as we tend to do more today.
But although we were poor we were close and had friends. We were happy although my younger sister disagrees with me. She has a completely different attitude to our childhood from me, as I was the eldest of five, all born close together.
Things are still the same now. It's just that we know more and there are less illusions. Just take life as it is and ignore what the media tells you: it's rubbish.
One person's name has stuck in her mind all these years, and that is Billy Maclean. Under the heading of workplaces, Anna put down Grey Dunns Southern General Hospital.
Anna Thomson, 2002
