Man regains sight
after 23 years
WING HAM - Maurice
Dennis, who has regained his
sight after almost 24 years of
blindness, looks at it as a
mixed blessing rather than a
miracle.
Mr. Dennis underwent two
delicate operations last year
at London's University
Hospital to repair damage to
his left eye caused by a
hemorrage. The right eye is
irrepairable.
His last look at the world
was April 23, 1959, the day he
suddenly went blind while
working at Lloyd's factory in
Wingham. Last year he saw
again for the first time since
then and he said it virtually
was like waking up on
another planet.
Mr. Dennis has cleat
recollections of what life was
like in 1959 and said he

probably expected to find
things relatively unchanged.
But he did not and this
"brave new world" shocked
and depressed him.
Always an outdoorsman,
he found the strong, healthy
trees he remembered were
shrunken and diseased. Gone
too were the sparkling clear
rivers of 24 years ago and in
their places are black,
polluted ones.
The biggest joy he has
experienced is seeing his
l, fe and two daughters Jane

Dianne (Mrs. Robert

never seen his younger
daughter until last year and
his older daughter had been
only six years old when her
father became blind; today
she has children of her own.
