I've been reading about this and I say GV, YOU GO GIRL! How radiant she looks. Just goes to show you that you never know how the later chapters in one's own book will be written. She exemplifies survival with grace and passion. She has my profound admiration.
ReplyDeleteBlimey, I didn't realise Gloria V was still alive. I had some of her jeans in the 80s. She only has a slight look now of having been exhumed. Oh hush my mouth.
ReplyDeleteDear,
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely follow-up to your other story. Gloria looks good to an 80 year old. BCT
