An Excerpt from Tom's letter of 20 May 2010
"Thanks to the generosity of the people of Kelso"
"The work at the hospital is coming along nicely, and although much work has still to
be done, I was invited to officially open Phase 1 of the hospital refurbishment.
Hopefully we’ll be able to raise additional money over Christmas so that the work can
be completed. It has been an amazing transformation, and all the kids (and nurses)
have appreciated the makeover.
A plaque will be installed saying that the refurbishment took place thanks to the
generosity of the people of Kelso, Scotland."
