Hi Fay

Glad to hear you found out a bit more about your relative and the school,they had a pipe band while i was there  but not something i joined, Some of the boys who were in were only there because their parents couldn't look after them,sad to say the suffered the same brutality, the only abuse i ever suffered was purely physical and this would happen on a daily basis, i know some kids suffered other types of abuse at the hands of the brothers but i never heard in the two and a half years that i was there  of anything of that nature happening in the Joe's (St Josephs) its only memories now but still very fresh and i don't dwell on it too much, Glad to say i went on to become the Father of three boys and two girls(grown up now) whom i've never told about my time in that place plus nine grandchildren.. My second youngest granddaughter Rhianna being the young girl who was mauled by the rottweilers here in Dundee last year and for which the owner of these dogs went to prison two weeks ago .. Hope you find out everything you are looking for regarding St Josephs and should you wish to ask me anything dont hesitate to ask.
Take care
Eddie
