1998 Alex McLean – honoured. Sent by Betty McLean
Betty McLean in Canada recently sent me these photos, adding.
“These photos are of my husband Alex. He lived in Morris Crescent for the early years of his life before moving to Russell St Burnbank. He was President of the American Iron and Steel Society in 1986. In 1998 the society held a conference to honour him in Toronto. On that occasion some of his former students and associates hired highland outfits in tribute to him. In the photo, countries represented are: Mexico, Hungary, France, Germany, England and Scotland.
