Andy is doing well his facial injury is healing but I fear it will be some time before he picks up enough courage to return to work. When next the Committee Managers meet, which will be 11 September I will tell them of your actions in undoubtedly saving the life of Andy Nurse. Best Wishes and thanks again David Jones Show less
