Joyce Cowan – Wartime Memories of Dundonald

Joyce Cowan was born on October 9, 1935 and grew up in Dundonald. Son Gary writes:

"My mother, Joyce Cowan, was born on October 9, 1935 and grew up in Dundonald. 

Her mother's name was Mary and her father was William.  My mother had two sisters, Molly and Evelyn.  Evelyn is now deceased. 

My mother moved to the United States in 1954 and eventually married my dad, Anthony DePreta.  She and my father settled in Stamford, Connecticut and had five children (Bonnie - born 1957; Tony - born 1958; Mark - born 1961; Gary - born 1966; Glen - born 1969).  My parents are both still living and have retired to Sarasota, Florida. 

My mother has told all of us children many, many stories of growing up in Dundonald ("...two bustops, a church, and Marr College").  She went to high school in Troon and tells us many stories of growing up during WWII. 

We hope to return to my mother's childhood home sometime soon.  Thank you for hosting a web site with a "Memories" page.  Perhaps you could find the time to post my mother's information on your homepage to see if their still are childhood friends that would like to reacquaint with my mom. Thanks! Gary DePreta"
