“Many congratulations on your well deserved MBE. Not only are you always there for your D/deaf and hearing impaired communities but also for the rest of us, both in the community at large and in areas such as mine, communications services for lipreaders. Whenever I have a problem I cannot begin to resolve you and Nick are at the top of my list to ask for help, and you always respond with useful, practical suggestions from your wealth of knowledge offered in the most sharing and positive way. And that has been going on for a year or three now, hasn’t it?! I am sure you will thoroughly enjoy your day at the Palace and I look forward to reading all about it in your newsletter.”

“What a lovely way to start off the New Year. Looking at all that you have accomplished personally as well as being of real service to deaf and hearing people, it is an honour richly deserved. Enjoy the moment when you go with Nicholas to Buckingham Palace!! You follow, in an illustrious way, others whom I have known in the deaf field who have received similar type honours for their contribution in breaking down the barriers of communication between deaf and hearing people over the past 40 years- David Hyslop OBE; Morag Rosie MBE; Evelyn Carter OBE; Craig Crowley MBE; Susan Daniels OBE; Alan Murray, MBE (I have probably left out some other names !!)”
