Friendly visitor needed for a 94-year-old neighbor in Glasgow

Travis lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Travis, who's 94. Travis lives alone in Glasgow, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 419 kilometers away. Travis loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
