One way is to copy and paste it onto Microsoft Word. Seems to be something that happens with some old photos.

My name is Allan Webster. My great-great-grandfather was William Allen Sabiston. His mother was a Ritch and one of his daughters was married to a Logie. Nice to see familiar names in this photo.

Willie Inkster was my father. I could never beat him, even when his mind was going when a patient in East Bank hospital. My brother Lamont Inkster still plays, competing quite successfully in Scottish and British competitions.
