Marijane Osborn: “Professor Beattie became a wonderful friend, we went to dinner and the theater together, and I have the poems he wrote me to remember him by. What I remember best about those days is my friendship with him and a couple of others like him, that my husband called my “old men,” and walking in the parks around Moray Place. I lived in a top-floor flat in Moray Place, accessible by an even then antique elevator – sorry, “lift” – and took my walks along the Water of Leith, and accomplished the research that advanced me well on the way to being where and who I am. It was a wonderful experience.”
