John,
As you know I followed you epistles on Sandy's progress and your coming to terms and subsequent care. It helped ... we have a 16/52 'last chance' grandson and our son's 26 year old partner is still in remission. We live in hope that that remains so but your detailed diary has given us plenty to think about should this change so, thank you.
Having missed a week or so on ER I quickly scanned to see how things went and was pleased to see you state the positive response given to you by the organist.
Cheers, Peter
PS I presume you lecture at Birmingham/Aston Uni? and your comments re student attitudes on ''work' ring a bell with some of my former students at Walsall. PBB

Sir Alec Jeffreys - Sandy and I met him at our graduation ceremony in 1991- actually in the multi-storey car park - he was receiving an honorary doctorate when we received our BAs. Sandy was also involved in the investigation about a murder and it was the first time that the police suspect couldn't have done it because of the DNA evidence with proof by Alec Jeffreys.
His work also helped prolong Sandy's life as she changed treatments due to a genetic mutation identified by his technique.

John,
Have been without RMweb for a while because of computer problems. Andy P let me know that Sandy had passed away. Your loving caring and tenderness in all you did for Sandy and the way you kept us informed of a very strong courageous lady gave us a real insight just how brave Sandy was and how steadfast you were during that time including caring for Kerry who must also be missing Sandy. My thoughts and prayers as also from other RMwebbers are with you.

Has recently been feeling 'tight' around the middle so, using my modelling skills, has added 2 extra notches to my belt. Now my trousers keep falling down!

might have managed to secure an unbuilt Mitchell "Manor" kit from the man himself. Such a pity the artwork for it was lost :-(

For the moment at least, I literally cannot keep up with the Dawlish thread on here, and keep up with the real thing and other flooding problems, and the media reports - never known anything like it!
