Children of the revolution

Late night/early morning catch up on Blip.
I stayed in Aberdeen on Friday night, as I had a 1030 appointment.
This appointment was a reunion with a difference.
It was a reunion with people that, for the most part I never new.
Back in the day, as the say, after a request from an American university, Aberdeen Uni set up a project called Children of the 1950's. where 12,150 children in the city, who were born between 1952 and 1956 were tested with a view to discover the causes of learning disabilities. The data received from this, has been claimed to be one of the most important and comprehensive of its kind in the world.
you can read about it here and here.
A whole lot of us, nowhere near the original amount obviously, met at Kings College, to be told what the study had been up to over the intervening decades, and what the future holds. It is now ongoing, dependent on funding, after being sort of revitalised in the 90's when those that the could trace, started receiving Xmas cards.
This picture is in one of the lecture halls in Kings, and our group, our large group, were answering questions and generally debating things . 
The extras are, the leading people involved in the study opening the event, a selfie with only a small amount of us as we waited to get our group photo taken and the people that were there that attended our primary school that the tests were undertaken in.
I only knew/remembered one person in this photo, and that is the tall chap standing next to me. His big brother was in my class.
 Obviously all the junior school pupils of the day, in all the schools, that were born in that time span were tested.
