Web brings thalidomide couple together
Newry-born Leigh Loy was living in Texas with her children, Karl, 16, and Aisling, who turns 15 today, when she posted a message on the internet to link up with other thalidomide survivors.
Eugene Gath, who is a lecturer at the University of Limerick, responded and as the messages continued, Eugene decided to travel to Texas and meet Leigh, who had been divorced for seven years.
