You must be so very proud and rightly so, Cassie.
It must have taken so much effort and strength to achieve.

A proud moment for your Dad Cassie, and as others have said a photograph to treasure.

Re: Paralympic picture 1955

Lovely Photo and quite apt at this moment in time with the Olympics
finishing tomorrow. I saw the great programme a few weeks ago how
Stoke Mandeville and Dr Ludwig Guttmann started the Olympics for the
disabled. It was a awe inspiring programme. From your post you didnt
know him for long. Shame.
About the photo can you not get one of the photos and have them
copied yourself, it would be cheaper. Also I go on a site called
Rootschat and they have people who can restore photos, but if
it is copyright it might not be able to be done to take the writing off.
