Here are my friends - in order of acquisition!

Ann and Mike Hutchinson

Mike and Ann Hutchinson: Mike is my oldest friend. When he started school in September 1944 I already knew him. Although we went our separate ways at 11 we have never lost contact. Mike became a doctor and consultant haematologist at Leicester Royal Infirmary. It was a great blow when, in September 2002, he headed south to live near Eastbourne.
