Robert and Aimee Leggat.

Dad was born in 1899. After studying at the Bible Training Institute (BTI) in Glasgow, and at the Missionary School of Medicine, my father set off, in 1927, to the north of Argentina. My mother, formerly a civil servant in London, married him in 1937. They retired in 1971.

Aimee died in 1972, Robert in 1977.

Dad's father, Peter Leggat, had the distinction of living to be just over 100 years. By this time he had forgotten who his children were - and often asked me who I was! - but ask him about Disraeli and Gladstone, and he seemed to have a photographic memory for this period! He lived originally in Orchard Street, Renfrew, and in his last few years stayed at the home of one of his daughters, in Largs, Ayrshire.
