Jim was a wonderful role player for the Samaritans. My first encouter  as avolunteer in training, was Jim in a dirty old raincoat, tied in the middle with string. His worldly possessions in a paper bag. I think there was even a drip at the end of his nose.

He shuffled in and announced with a sob in his voice. ‘My wife has left me ..and she has taken the dog!’  I cried.   The start of many  happy years listening together  as Samaritans
