I am an Orthopedic and Hand Surgeon in Roma, Italy. In the years from 1990
to 1997 I attended the Peripheral Nerve Injury Unit of Professor Rolfe
Birch, first in St.Mary's Hospital and then in Royal National Orthopedic
Hospital in Stanmore. After long and extremely complex surgical theatre
sessions, he wanted to talk about the case straight away in front of a beer
in the Vine. Two pints, a piece of paper, a pencil and his great teaching.
Rolfe recently passed away but all the good he made for his patients changed
their lives and is still going around somewhere in the world with their
personal histories. Same he did for us, then young doctors, giving his
knowledge, example and attitude towards who is in need, as a real Mentor. |

Used to walk over for lunchtime drinks from Marconi Space
and Defence in the Grove. The landlord was called Mr Gough I think, and
we all fell in love with his daughter. |

I have very fond memories of the The Vine
and all those that I came to know there. I was serving in the US Navy
(working in Mayfair), living in the Grove Farm house. I had the honor of
serving as The Vine's resident "colonial bastard" for several years.
Skol Special (aka "a pint of wollup"), Mrs. Gough's Cornish pasties,
wonderful lunches at the pub. Some of the best years of my life. |

Having arrived Heathrow to visit my sister and brother in law... in
difficult times. Ira was in full swing and our passports were from
Canada, but they wanted to check everyone. I had a working visa |
