Green Thought in a Green Shade Some
bad news this week from our friends in Norwich - we are told that Anglian
and Aspen Windows founder George Williams is in hospital - paralysed
from the neck down - after a fall three weeks ago. Although now 80 years
old, George was in good health until the accident and we wish him a speedy
recovery on behalf of our readers. The latest news is that he is beginning
to get some feeling back in his limbs, which bodes well. He is in the
Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, should anyone wish to send greetings. WE HAVE EMAIL... Bring
it On! says BWF |
