LOOKING Back reader Ernest Grundy of Memorial Road, Walkden knows his saints.
He has produced a booklet, "50 Saints" which helps to support church funds by selling for £1 in the book rack at St Paul's, Peel.
It consists of four-verse histories of saints ranging from Alban to Wilfrid and it is his 21st booklet. The others, using the same formula, include artists, literary greats, monarchs, male film stars, prime ministers and poets laureate.
Ernest tells me that he sent me the booklet after St Bernadette was mentioned recently in the "On This Day" column which appears on this page.
