sue: steve was born
in exeter in 1956.
he was a mild haemophiliac —
a blood disorder in which
the clotting process does
not complete itself.
the risks are more severe bleeding
or bruising, but the main risks
are medical interventions.
right, i don't know
if you can see...
was he not dapper?
but, yeah, that's the young,
funny, clever man.
i'd actually forgotten
he once looked like that.
we met at university,
we met at a freshers‘ reception,
in 1974, in exeter.
my strongest memory is rushing
to the station to get the train,
rushing onto the platform to see
it was delayed again,
looking up the platform and steve
would emerge from the waiting room,
and that was like this greatjoy
that i'd got his company.
