Here are 3 parts of a peopletalk Oral history interview made by Nigel Killick at peopletalk. www.pepletalk.libsyn.com
Mr.Percy Lewis is an old soldier who, was on the Normandy beaches in the invasion of Europe in the Second World War at the age of 19.
Percy Lewis is now 91 years of age, and is still very physically active.
He loves to swim at least twice a week and still loves to drive himself everywhere in his new Honda car. Finally, after fighting his way up through Europe he was captured by the Germans and put into Stalag X1B prisoner war camp, where he was virtually starving when liberated. When set free he only weighed six stone, and he looked like he’d come out of a concentration camp.
His interview was over two and a half hours long but he still has the stamina of a young man. His whole interview is in three 30 minute programs.
I have nothing but admiration for his generation and the terrible times that they went through and how they've remained good-humoured and modest! Their like will not be seen again. © peopletalk 2014 Creative Commons license: Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0

Trailer: Little Norman church
My walk about to day is to Ovingdean in Sussex, a pretty little hamlet about two miles from the sea on the south coast of England. I visit the early Norman little church of St Wulfrans recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a "little church".

Katherine Schellenberg talks about the Great Depression. Katherine was born in 1932, to second generation emigrant farmers in Aberdeen, Saskatchewan, Canada.
To Katherine the iconic images of the great depression are more than just old black and white photographs of men waiting in bread lines, working in relief camps and protesting against their dreadful destitution. At www.peopletalk.libsyn.com
