Congratulations John and especially that man of Iron with the will of Iron Jerry Forde. I am looking forward to keeping a handle on his exploits in the future, every time I meet him he has completed another three or four marathons. A long time since he piloted his old clockwork wheelchair in the Dublin City Marathon to raise money for Blarney Church. Upyaboyo. Paddy H.
