For this episode I interview Willy Veerman, a resident at The Village of Riverside Glen. Willy's vivid memory of her childhood in Holland takes us on a beautiful trip today. Willy tells us of life on the farm, the river and the bridge, her four siblings, going to school in wooden shoes...then later her journey to Canada, and having six children of her own. This conversation feels right out of a children's storybook at times, with Willy's incredible descriptions of what she remembers, and with her childhood coinciding with WWII, it's an important history lesson too. Thank you Willy for sharing your story!
