NEW BOOK LAUNCHED IN BANGOR: Veteran hack Terence Bowman launched his new book of nostalgia of Bangor memories at the town's Heritage Centre last night. Many hacks from yesteryear were present including ex-News Letter editor John Trew. The star attraction, however, was former Co. Down Spectator editor Annie Roycroft who had travelled from Cork to attend the evening's event. Watching the proceedings were contributors to the book Roy Shephard and Helen Greenaway with her daughter, Heather, who now works for the Sunday Mail and Mirror in Glasgow. Sadly there were a few absentees who also also contributed to he book; Bobby Templeton, former member of the Stormont Press corps, and Ric Clark, ex NewsLetter. Just to dot the i and cross the t, present also were Brian Orr, ex Belfast Telegraph and, of course, a former Co. Down Spectator sub editor, and Noel McAdam, also Belfast Telegraph.
