FORMER PUPILS PRESENT CHEQUE TO FORMER HEADMASTER
When the students of the Class of 1981 at Honiton Community College held a reunion last May they planned that the event should raise some money for charity. In memory of a former classmate, Simon Retter, of Monkton, who died of leukaemia as a teenager, they decided that money raised should go to the Exeter Leukaemia Fund. £353.90 was raised.
Two of the organisers of the event, Wendy Williams and Julie Garland, both of Honiton, remembered that their primary school Headmaster had been John Dalton who was the first Administrator of ELF and now a Trustee of the Charity they decided that they would like to renew old acquaintances and present the cheque to him. Wendy and Julie went along to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, talked over old times and made the presentation.
The two were then shown over the new Haematology Centre and ward by the current Chief Executive of the Exeter Leukaemia Fund, Malcolm Roker, who explained that this magnificent facility for the treatment of leukaemia and allied diseases had been built at the instigation of, and largely funded by ELF.
