Such a vivacious lady, she must have been an excellent teacher, inspiring her pupils every day.
What a treasure. Thank you for interviewing her.
I am in tears. This woman was the best person to have ever lived. No one had a better grandma than I did. Thank you for editing this together Leon Worden.
(my excellent staff did it) :)
I would love to get the raw footage of her just talking
content-wise there is probably just what’s in the show, but i’ll ask someone to output her iso camera for you
Thank you so much!
