audiowranglerAudioMo 2020 Day 29 An Inspiring Woman Part 5Losing her husband and now in her 80’s and 90’s wasn’t going to slow Eileen down. She became a champion of Life Long Learning, sat a degree, became the author of multiple books and kept on telling the story of the women of the Filter Room.
I miss my friend, but listening to these recordings reminds me of just how inspiring she was.
In memoriam, Eileen Younghusband BEM (1921-2016) WAAF Section Officer

I'm uploading this at exactly 00:16, the time, 76 years ago, that 181 men of 'D' Company, 2nd (Airborne) Battalion, The Ox and Bucks. landed and became the first allied forces to land in France and so to start the liberation of Western Europe.

Business JazzHow to Transform a Skiing Experience (S9 E07)Paul and Roger are sickly this week. They still managed to record this podcast via Skype. Roger talks about the spaghetti legs he had during 2018. There's a snippet of Monty Python-esque conversation. The style of this episode reminds Roger of Business Jazz episodes he recorded in 2013 with Jane Boyd (who lives near Vancouver, Canada). "What has impressed you this week, Paul? Have you had any business experiences?" Paul talks about a ski resort in France, a bubble lift, and how a few people transformed the experience for his daughter. You hear the story of how Paul's daughter got skis & boots...

I cannot recommend Clare’s work highly enough; she is simply a brilliant writer. It might be a cliché, but it’s true, you don’t want to put her books down.

I was lucky enough to meet Jimmy a few times over the last few years and he was always as sharp as a pin. As a tribute here is an edited version of an interview I recorded with Jimmy and Dr Joel Greenberg back in 2015 at the launch of the Gordon Welshman Exhibition. Jimmy worked with Gordon in the famous Hut 6 during WW2.
