I am sure that not everyone who contracted this terrible disease managed to remain as stoical and unselfpitying as you three...or perhaps people were made of better stuff in those days?! (I am 36). I am a cynical doctor, but Donal, in particular, who seemed to have more or less been abandoned by his family (apologies if I picked that up wrong?) left a huge, huge lump of awe and tenderness in my throat! I can't find anywhere to post a congratulation note to him on his appearance tonight...so can I say here how much admiration I have for all three of you for emerging from those traumatic years with such strength, and for being able to so clearly articulate this fascinating piece of history for the rest of us. Many thanks and best wishes. Carla. Hello Rose,
