Friends
It is not new that illness or adversity brings people together. In addition to the significant support and contact with my existing circle of family and friends, I have also experienced over the last 5 months a large number of reconnections with good friends that for a range of reasons “life” had caused a drift in connection.

The signatures were obtained for this purpose by her relative that works in club administration. Not easy to do and a gift I will cherish.
It will be framed and hung in my “man cave”!
