In 90 or so I received issue of WHIN which carried news introducing our organization-activities-problems and in addition it carried Appeal to its readers to contribute. Later,I knew that it is Rory and Simon behind it. I then contributed few articles for WHIn. In 1992 I traveled to UK and had opportunity to attend HAZARDS conference at Shefield. I wanted to spend one more day after the Conference is over so that I can visit SHOP office and know more about them. I did not know where to stay and Simon solved the problem by inviting me to stay with him. I learnt a lot from the experiences shared by him. He also took me to a surgery to see the work being done. How committed, innovative and courageous he was! I was shocked to know about his suffering some time back. Simon, I would never forget the time spent with you and what I learn t from you - solidarity.
