Autorenporträt
Gwen Hullah began as a free-lance writer, writing factual articles about past traditions for local newspapers and country magazines. One estimable achievement, being, the instigator of Radio Witham, Grantham Hospital's Radio Station, which took 2 years of research - to gaining support of Matron, Mrs Hutchinson & the League of Friends; thereafter, 3 months trial, leading officially to the opening by-way of intercepting into BBC (approved) in 1976. As interviewer/broadcaster, later Manager, my favourite 'well-known' people who visited Grantham were Quintin Hogg QC - waspishly witty. Ken Dodd - a little vulgar to start with. Willie Rushton actor/writer - droll - easy to talk to. And last but not least, Margaret Thatcher - then the Deputy Leader of Conservative Party - when she did a flying visit back to her home town after many, many years. The Lady kindly gave me 3 minutes to interview her - (reel to reel recorder). She had Bank Holiday blue eyes, small manoeuvring hands, glamorous legs with well turned ankles - her voice, I also remember was a trifle high - Denis, meanwhile, looked a me as though I was a damp baby!
