Introduction:
I'm a retired River Quality Manager, part-time employed as a school transport driver and private hire car driver. I also manage the Scarborough Citizens Advice Bureau website http://www.scarcab.org.uk
I'm married and we have a son and a grandson. We had a daughter but tragically she died in car crash at the age of 19. I wrote a piece about our experience on my website, hoping it might help others. It did help some people, and it helped me talking about it. http://lionelbeck.net/jackie.htm

Favorite Quote:
"When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the Land. They said, Let us pray... and when we opened our eyes again we had the Bibles and they had the Land"
