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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
