Graham Sumner

Graham, from Ormskirk, is now in his late 50's!! After teaching Mathematics in Liverpool for 25 years he was forced to retire, in 1997, with a sight problem. At about the same time his wife, Vi, was diagnosed with Parkinson's. It was lucky in that he is now at home to look after her.

He took an NVQ in Accountancy for three years at night school. 'Crossroads', respite carers, looked after Vi while he was studying, to whom he is eternally grateful. He had hoped to do sub-contract work and sole traders books once he qualified but Vi's deteriorating health made this impossible.

Graham is an avid Liverpool supporter and a compaholic who can lay claim to a few big wins!!
