I wrote this Blog a year ago, but I'm only getting around to posting it here now.

Brian

Do you have any memory of realising that you were different to others in terms of the both the blindness and the Arthrogryposis and what was your reaction to this?

Paul

I am a lucky man! I just want to get that statement out there from the start.

My name is Paul Johnston and I am 58 years old, married to Fiona for 33 and a half years with two children both grown up. I am the eldest and only boy of five children. i have worked for my employer, CIE, for almost 33 years, 6 months less than my marriage. I have had a very good life so far!

My name is Brian. I was born in Dublin and have lived here since. Thankfully both my parents are still alive. They have in their own way as parents do, influenced my life in lots of ways, while allowing me freedom and choice in others. I have 3 brothers and a sister. I’m married to Suzanne, and we have 2 lovely children, Rachel and Luke, who ask me lots of questions, just like I did to my parents. Ever since I was young, I have always had and continue to have a strong curiosity for many things. Why is the question I ask the most.

Introduction

Ever since I was a child, both Music and Radio have been and continue to be strong interests of mine. They both have provided me with hours of entertainment and still continue to do so.
