Chris Frantz remembers this day in his memoir:   


It was a bright sunny day, a rare occurrence in Scotland, according to Frank Gallagher, one of our resident Scots. David and Frank had both been born not far from Glasgow and our collective mood was very high. After checking into the Ivanhoe Hotel, we took a long walk around the city where many young people who looked a lot like David were out promenading and window shopping while eating from brown paper bags of fish and chips. Tina observed that the boys were cuter than the girls. Glasgow was a tough town, but on this day, with the fair weather, people were happy to be alive.

The Celts really know how to give it up and turn it loose, and boy did they ever. Thank goodness they loved us or I probably wouldn't be here to tell this tale."''<ref>Frantz, Chris.
