Hi Reinhard,

Yes, my grandpa moved up to Carlisle 20 odd years ago after a stint outside of Manchester since '82. He's had quite a few strokes and heart attacks since then but his strength has always pulled through and he's still cracking jokes and amazing stories every time I see him.

Ken wrote some pieces on the Venerable Bede, which became part of the Cumbrian school curriculum and ended up being performed in Carlisle cathedral.

I'll let him know that you Reinhard says hi!
