acknowledgements
I am indebted to my dear mother, Joan Porter, who filled in many gaps in the stories and to my sister, Virginia, who as a teenager, was far more patient and interested in listening to my father's tales.
My thanks to David, Maggie and Gill at LCC for their support and advice during the production of the intaglio prints.
Many thanks also to my long suffering husband Malcolm, daughter Zoë and son Michael for putting up with me during my research and the making of the paintings!
