Hi Roger,
Just read your mail. No, I am not your kind benefactor but can truly
sympathise. I too, at the age of 70 fell victim(?) to a stroke,
probably resulting from pre-existing medical problems (I have
late-diagnosed genetic haemochromatosis),
I too found people in this community incredibly kind, understanding
and generous. Alan, g3nyk is a former colleague and business partner
and has helped me to keep an interest as have members of various
groups within the amateur radio community.
I trust your stroke was not too debilitating. I have been left with
problems in my right leg. My wife who also had a couple of years
before me an ischaemic event, unfortunately lost the sight of her
left eye. We have learned to (sort of) cope.
What we learned, was that everyone's stroke is different and
individual and only really understood by the individual. Even then
there are aspects that are difficult to explain to others.
Keep strong.

speedy recovery from my stroke. Thank you.
Yesterday, in the post, was a small package containing a
professional PCB
with a built preamp for 136/472kHz. There wasn't even a postmark
on the
stamp and no note inside. Some kind and generous person just
posted me
this anonymously. I honestly can't thank you enough. This is so
kind. It will definitely get used.
When you see all the hate and cruelty in our world it is easy to
think that most people are unkind. They are not.
My stroke has taught me that there are very very many kind and
caring
people in this world. This very kind person did not even want to
reveal
his identity.
I really really appreciate your kindness. I have posted this in
several places in the hope I'll reach my benefactor. When I am
fit again I hope I can be as kind to someone. This is the true
spirit of amateur radio. Thank you.
