I'm your host Sarah Stone Street.

And I'm your co-host, Erin Kunkel.

Thank you. and I'm your co-host, Erin Kunkel. I am really excited about our interview today because it's my grandmother.

She's known by many names, but her name is Sheila.

I call her love bug because she calls me love bug. So if Sheila were to walk in this

room and you all were here, I would say, oh my word, you have to meet my grandmother. And I can't

wait to tell you her story. Grandma grew up in England during World War II. She was 10 when the

war broke out. And so she's lived a

different life and had to be strong in many different situations. So fortunately, you all get

to hear her story. And Aaron and I are going to just ask her a few questions and listen to her

story. And I hope you enjoy the humor because my grandma is humorous, right, grandma?

Oh, yeah.

Very laughable.

Very liable.

So get ready to laugh because we will laugh at weird times because grandma laughs at weird times,

right, grandma?

I do, I'm afraid, yeah.

So here we go. First of all, grandma, tell? Yes, I do, I'm afraid, yes. So here we go.

First of all, Grandma, tell us when you were born.

I was born in 1928, October the 17th, 1928, right after the First World War.
