Thanks For the Memories

I enjoyed reading Thanks for the Memories - The Overnighters-3AW edited by Andrew Rule.  It is a collection of stories and anecdotes from call back listeners to a late night radio program with the announcer, Keith McGowan.  The topics are wide and varied with the calls mainly from elderly people telling stories about their lives.  This book was published in 1991.  There are stories about the hard times during the Depression, the two World Wars, and life generally.  It is interesting to get an insight in to how different their lives were to our own comparatively comfortable modern lives.  Many came from very large families, which is rare today.  This is an interesting collection. 4/5
