Ronald was one of, at first, two doctors at All Saints Anglican Mission Hospital in Transkei, South Africa, 1958 - 1976. They married. After self-publishing An Uneasy Story about the Nationalising of Mission Hospitals, he self-published under the title Letters Home, the letters he and Pauline wrote, often weekly, to his parents in UK. He was surprised how many people, not doctors,not South African, enjoyed the read!
