Welcome to Listen To Older Voices, a program produced by Rob Greaves for Wesley Mission Victoria and podcast through the Toorak Times.
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.
Letti Bartlett’s story was originally aired in October 2004 but is replayed so that those who missed it the first time can hear it now. Letti is a dynamo and what she has achieved in her life is quite astounding, and reminds us that there are many in the community around us, that do not seek recognition or trumpet their achievements but just work away quietly getting things done.
Letti had suffered a stroke and while talking was difficult it did not stop her from wanting to tell her story, and from time to time she needed assistance from her long-time and ever lasting partner, Griff. Sadly, she has since passed on, but her story remains and as long as her story remains memories of her remain, and she in that way she lives on.
