Met Hutton once, early 90s when he came to East Calder, Scotland to visit my late father, George Leitch Miller. Sadly my father had passed in 1988. Lovely man, I remember him well. Would love for any successors to get in touch. Janice Miller.

I'm sorry to see that your father died. I met him during the summer of 2002 when he lived across the hall from my mother at what was then called Fairview Village. My mother's health was declining and my sister (in PA.) and I (in VA.) took turns staying with her from June 2002 until her death on Sept. 27, 2002. Your Dad was a tremendous comfort to me during this difficult time. I've stayed in touch with him for the last 15+ years. He was a good man and I will miss him. Sincerely, Sandra Erksa
