Walker in 1931 and they had one daughter, Mary,

member of Waddington Methodist Church, serv­ ing as treasurer for more than 30 years and as organist when called upon. He was involved in the


judge of dairy cattle at many local shows, and he was a referee at the Hod-

and Mr Chris Score were due to have flown out on October 19th, but the fund-raising effort has been put off until Febru­


ary.


Mrs Bentley said: "We were due to put down in


the Gulf on the way to Nepal. It was thought this was not a good idea


at this time. "We will be going in


February, although we have yet to receive a firm


date.” They each are well on


their way to raising £2,300, which will be split between Deafway, a Preston charity for the deaf, and deaf charities


in Nepal. I t will be school­


teacher Mr Score's first trip, but Mrs Bentley went last year.


"It was fantastic," she


said. "It was amazing what they have done with the money we left there. They have already built a school for 60 deaf children and employ six peripatetic teachers for the deaf children in six remote regions." Mrs Bentley was


inspired for her fund­ raising work by a grand­ son who is deaf. The pair raised £250
