About this title

About the Author

Bryan Springthorpe was born in Derbyshire, England at the beginning of the nineteen thirties. He was educated throughout the second world war and the immediate post war years at Nottingham High, an English Public School founded on 1513.His career in retail sales and marketing commerce took him eventually to the United States where he still lives with his wife Mary Ann. They share four children and seven grandchildren, soon to be eight. He retired in 1997 and moved to Skidaway Island, near Savannah Georgia where he occupies himself with volunteerism, to as he puts it, repay some of the blessings that life has bestowed upon him.It was here that he met the blind priest, Father Paul Hoornstra, the subject of his biography. That chance meeting led to the inspiration for this book.
