A Good Read
:
Our late member, Mrs Pat Grimsley (Lowe), wrote a book which her husband,
Dennis, has recently had published. Entitled A Tug of War, the book
recounts Pat's battle with severe and progressive rheumatoid arthritis from
the age of 21 until her death last year at the age of 71. Pat was a
tireless campaigner for the Heywood Foundation where she was treated for 30
years and to which she donated £14,500 from the sale of her paintings - and
interest which she enjoyed until she was unable to hold her paint brushes.
Proceeds from the sale of her book (£7.00 per copy) will also be
donated to the Foundation - which has announced that a £500 prize, to be
known as The Pat Grimsley Prize, will be awarded every two years to the
outstanding student at the Keele University Masters Course in
Rheumatology Nursing. Copies of A Tug of War can be ordered
direct through Dennis Grimsley (former Head Boy of Burton Grammar School) on
01792 512854 who will inform you of the additional cost of postage. |
Photos & Other High School Material are
deposited in Lichfield Record Office, The Friary, Lichfield WS13 6QG. (01543
