10 Years ago today, a tragic event occured that changed the path my life was to take. I lost a friend and colleague, a man whom I shall never forget until the day I die, but I gained so much more afterwards. Nearly 9 months later, I would have an interview up at Didcot, & land the job on the day, causing me to change my career entirely and move ( Read more... )
