When the gang bought matching jackets, they bought one for Reg., as’he was t,he most popular fellow in the gang. Reg’s ‘illness, serious as it is, has not prevented his exercising daily. Today, he is making one of the finest bids to regain his original health. His daily exercises have been paying off because Reg. has begun to walk again, and slowly but surely, he will regain his strength. Never at any time did Reg. lose faith in himself, but he has always had before him the thought of getting out into the sunshine again with his pals. Best of luck from all at E.K.C. - Dave Tibbs.
