Journal. David and his Book.

3 days ago I had out of the blue a package from David and Moira which I knew immediately was the draft manuscript of the 2nd part of David's book. When we visited and stayed with them in June 2003 I offered to edit then print up his draft copy of this manuscript. He told me he could not do the necessary after his stroke which had affected not only his speech but full control of his right hand; he could not control his finger movements his hand was too weak. He can drive and grasp the steering wheel but not control individual finger movements.

I knew he was disappointed so I offered to compile the information and type it up but suggested he first think it over. That was nearly 18 months ago. I shall start it around Xmas; this 2nd part is in journal form so I will do an entry at a time.

Pat said it is so thick, but I shall do it. His mother and mine were sisters. Part of David is me and I am part of David.
