The Kellogg’s summer exhibition at St. Antony’s Centre continues to bring in new stories and pictures. Last week I was delighted to meet the son of Norman Glasgow who kindly donated a super sized retirement card signed by many work Colleagues in Kellogg’s Manchester Plant in June 1996 , clearly popular and well loved work Colleague. His mother and father have both passed but the memories are strong. Did you know her ? - any stories or pictures you want to share about her - perhaps your one of the many who signed her card ?

We convey to his family the assurance of our prayers and thoughts at this difficult time - a candle will burn here in his memory and generosity of spirit and love - May He Rest in Peace.
