Sir, the recent BDA Benevolent Fund articles have made fascinating reading, the thoroughness of the research impressive (Volume 235 issues 9-12). Having been involved with the charity in various ways over many years, to find my name mentioned, without full reference to so, so many others, can only require an immediate response.1 In my time initially both Ken Swiss and Tony Chivers were our wise leaders and inspiration. Fellow Officers and Trustees/Branch Reps worked tirelessly and selflessly with the sole aim to help those in our profession, and their dependants, in need. In particular, during my years in office, Ken Franklin, Bryan Gillard, Peter Swiss, Bob McKechnie, Richard Elvin, Ian McIntyre, Mavis Phipps, John Turner, Philip Sutcliffe and Robin Rippon, all prominent members of the profession, were terrific team mates. The then-administrators, Priscilla Watt followed by Sally Atkinson, played their role superbly. The Ben Fund has, quite rightly, changed more rapidly as time has passed with equally dedicated and able helmsmen and crew. The need for the Fund continues. Please, don't forget the Ben Fund!
