Best place to start is the beginning. I was born in 1952 in
Sunderland, NE England. My dad was a very proud Scot from Leith and mum from
Gateshead. This is where I was born and spent the first 11 years. http://www.mc-gregor.org.uk/gallery_sunderland.html.
I don't want to go too deeply into my hirschsprung's because that
has been dealt with elsewhere, http://www.mc-gregor.org.uk/history.html & http://www.hirschsprungs.info/stories/Gerry.php. I
was the youngest of 5 but Martin was born about 18 months later but he did not
live long. Mum told me that the doctor said that as I was so poorly it was
either him or me. That made me more special to mum and more spoilt. I was
diagnosed at 9 months and then spent most of my time from then until 5 in
hospital in Newcastle.
