" You certainly had the room enthralled with the stories of your life as an Officer and Captain. It was also inspirational when you mentioned that you had followed your ‘bliss’ to do something that you enjoyed which obviously led onto a most rewarding and fulfilling career. Ian and I have both enjoyed reading your book and I hope your kind gift of a copy for our next raffle will help to raise more for funds for the order."
