It was on Wednesday this week, September 30th, that Mr Wilson, who many of us know as Bill, served his last shift on the school crossing ahead of his retirement.

He has been a very popular staff member for all in the school community and the sheer weight of leaving gifts from Dalry families reflected his high standing in the school community and local area.

Since Wednesday we have had enquiries from many local residents as to where Bill is and all asked us to pass on their best wishes for his retirement.

We at Dalry would like to thank Mr Wilson one more time for his years of service keeping us all safe.
