Our dad was so proud to be a Guinea Pig. He told my brothers, John, Andy and I, that Sir Archibald McIndoe had stressed how important it was for the Guinea Pigs to support each other. He took this very seriously and enjoyed organising events to bring them together. He always said he was only singed compared to other Pigs. It was wonderful to see them together - the fun and the quiet way they would help each other- and reach out to others with burns. What a privilege to be a Guinea Pig child!
