For this episode I interview Emma Bradley, a resident at The Village of Riverside Glen. Emma is 96 years old, and has memories dating back to when she was a toddler. It's amazing to hear her stories of a childhood in New Brunswick, in a family of eleven children, growing up during WWII. All five of her brothers joined the services, and one ended up in a Prisoner of War Camp in Germany for two years. With three brothers in law also in the services, and her father working in a steel/munitions plant, the war deeply touched her family. Emma shares this, and her path to becoming a teacher, her move to Ontario and some of the stories she remembers from along the way. She's a strong woman too, and recently battled and survived Covid. We are so lucky to have her, and getting to hear stories that are almost 100 years old is such a privilege and we highly recommend you tune in.
