Welcome to Listen To Older Voices,
a program produced by Rob Greaves for Uniting Melba and podcast through
the Toorak Times and Tagg.
Listen To Older Voices presents the stories, views and opinions of our older citizens. It is predominantly in a life & times format, with interviewees reflecting upon their lives from earliest memories. An underlying principal of the program is to promote the concept of positive ageing, reinforcing the principle that older people have & continue to make a valuable contribution to both their local & wider community.
In the second part of the story of Baby Boomer, Carol Cochran, we learn how she became the CEO of a Junior Football Association in Melbourne
However, it is her story of not only how she not just learned ballroom dancing when most other kids were enjoying rock ‘n roll, but became an instructor. This leads to Carol sharing stories of her journeys throughout Asia, where she toured as part of a dance demonstration team. In fact it was as Ballroom Dancing instructor that her path crossed with the late and great Johnny O’Keefe, who tried chatting her up.
