Listen To Older Voices presents the stories, views and opinions of our older citizens. It is predominantly in a life & times format, with interviewees reflecting upon their lives from earliest memories. An underlying principal of the program is to promote the concept of positive ageing, reinforcing the principle that older people have & continue to make a valuable contribution to both their local & wider community.
This is the 2nd part of a 3-part story featuring 93-year-old Nora Kevan. This week Nora continues the stories of her work in the meteorological service within the WRAFS during WWII. We learn how she marries Corporal John Kevan, and during her story we learn how it was he rose to become Squadron Leader John Kevan.
At wars end Nora would have liked to stay working in the WRAFS, but with the men returning from the war, her job had to be given back to a man. She has to be content to be a housewife and sometimes a lonely housewife, as John stayed in the RAF and was posted all over the place, sometimes without Nora. Finally, we learn how she and John come to Australia and the adventures that eventuated from that move.
