I found the Polio Survivors Network while living in Kent and trying to get a diagnosis for my failing strength and ability to walk. I first met Hilary at one of the Annual General Meetings in Lincoln. One of our daughters lives in Nottingham and we also visited Hilary and Richard in their bungalow. When we moved to Nottingham I offered my services and for a short time, I was secretary. Later I became a trustee and Hilary encouraged me to attend the Annual General Meeting of the European Polio Union held in Budapest where I was born and where I caught polio. I will miss her contributions to the monthly newsletter, and find it difficult to imagine how we can carry on without her. May she rest in peace with her beloved Richard.
