The Old Days by Theodore Shennan

The Old Days by Theodore Shennan

In 1940, Theodore Shennan wrote a long letter to his elder son, David. It was hand-written, in fountain pen, and was completed over a series of dates through 1940. By the time he had finished, the letter was 138 pages long. The letter is essentially autobiographical and it describes 'The Old Days'. It includes Theodore's earliest memories in Bathgate, his childhood, his family, his medical training in Edinburgh and anecdotes about his medical colleagues in Edinburgh, Aberdeen and elsewhere. Theodore was born in 1869 and died in 1948. His writing provides a record of the times through which he lived and about the people with whom he had contact. The purpose of this publication is to make Theodore's letter more widely available as a record of family history and of the times through which he lived.

Chris Shennan spent his working life in Industry where he carried out a number of roles in the leadership and management of research and development. He is a scientist by training and has many interests but perhaps his first love is Natural History. He is now retired and spends much of his available time gardening for the benefit of wildlife and opening his garden under the National Garden Scheme. Chris also has a keen interest in securing whatever family history and original documents still exist for the benefit of the immediate family and for possible research by historians and future generations. Original documents have been lodged with appropriate regional or local archive offices.
