The four-part recording took place in the home of Denis (96), who entertained me with his repertoire of stories and memories, supplemented by his friend Jim Lane. Another visit to Denis’s house provided a continuation of storytelling, with the promise of a return visit. My third visit on a wet winters evening set the scene for more amazing stories and my last and most memorable visit yielded stories I had not heard before or since.
