Shadow of a Survivor

Pattison, John Walker: - John Walker Pattison was born on Monday, 4th February 1957 to parents John and Ruby. He has lived most of his years in the wonderful seaside town of South Shields and enjoyed an uneventful, but happy childhood. Today, Pattison enjoys being the practical joker, especially with his grandchildren. He openly admits to spending his school days clowning around and neglecting his intellectual chemistry, subsequently leaving school with a handful of worthless qualifications. In 1973, he started work in a local shipyard until the spectre of cancer gripped his future in a deathly stranglehold. What happened next is his unique story, Shadow of a Survivor.
