Jean Robson, 95, is recognised for dedicating 50 years of her life to volunteering with the Guide Dogs charity
WHAT a joy it has been to read about the awards given to Jean Robson by St Teresa’s Hospice and the Guide Dogs group (Echo, June 22).
I do know Jean personally, and there is no one more deserving than she is of public recognition with such gratitude. She is indeed involved with many other organisations, tirelessly with such commitment.
At her age she is amazing.
She has taught so many people by her Christian witness, and community service, including me. She is always first to thank and encourage people, with such a loving smile and attitude.
Perhaps our country’s leadership have a lot to learn from Jean.
Eileen Shepherd, Darlington
