Local residents have been working with Life Story writer Rachel Lewis.
The 'Memories and Milestones’ project, was run with Petersfield Age Concern and was funded by East Hampshire Council.
Life Story Books are a wonderful way to capture precious - often forgotten - memories and significant celebrations.
The lives of Viviene, Peter and Maureen were captured in three books presented to them at an highly emotional event at Winton House on 17 September; the memories came flooding back and very full lives, with huge events within them, were remembered.
That is also good as a contribution to the social history of Petersfield.
Mike Waddington spoke to Rachel Lewis, Vivienne, Peter and Maureen, as well as Councillor Paul Hutchinson, who was himself quite moved by it all.
Age Concern Trustee, Luc Blais (who also drives the Age Concern bus) thanked everyone for their work on this brilliant project.
