Isobel Palmer (Miller): I have recently downsized from a large, old, Georgian style house which give me more time to devote to my voluntary work for the National Trust.
1961
John Idris Jones: I had a short novel published this month by Alun Books. It is titled 'Madocks' and is based on the life of William A Madocks. He gave his name to the town of Porthmadog, having financed major landscape improvements. The creation of the port here started a huge increase in slate production and export, with new wooden sailing ships being built by hand here. The ships, mostly schooners, went all over the world, and I have completed a second novel on this theme, 'Sail'.

We earn a living by book indexing & teaching indexing by mail. Both my children also went to Keele and loved it!
