Alfred is the father of my friend Sam. I took this photo a couple of months after Alfred had an operation to remove his tongue and parts of his jaw and gum due to a second bout of mouth cancer. Alfred smoked for less then 10 years, starting at the age of 15. He contributes his ill health to passive smoking from working as a Bus Conductor in Plymouth England where smoking was allowed on board. Even though complications occurred post surgery, Alfred is learning to walk, talk & eat once again & remains optimistic about life.
