Well Remembered
The Communist was, as many of you know, a pharmacist who owned a chemist's shop in Acomb, York. He treated the staff in his shop well and they have always kept in touch with him since he retired.
This morning my mother got a phone call from one of them. This lady had not received a Christmas card from the Communist this year, and she was worried because he always sent her a card. Was he okay?
Indeed, it was the Communist who always sent all the cards and we weren't sure where to find some of the addresses in time for this Christmas, so we didn't manage to let her know.
My mother explained that he has died and the lady who rang said she was very sorry, and they had a good chat.
The Communist retired, age 62, in 1986.
That's twenty-three years ago. How great that his staff still remember, after all this time.
