Friendship renewed

'After retirement at the age of 65 years, I have been melted down and recycled as a minister in a Christian Church; Methodist...I remember that you were the main optometrist in a large hospital in Delhi, and were trying to improve the education and status of optometry...I also remember how much you did for me during my visit...I still have some photographs to remind me of it all,' writes David. Professor Pickwell has been an authority on orthoptics. And we had the honour to have this great personality as patron of the non-profit voluntary organisation, Optometric Register of India, to enlist qualified optometrists and orthoptists. It is my pleasure to share my gratitude towards David with the readers of optician, and in wishing him all the best in his chosen vocation. Dr Narendra Kumar New Delhi, India
