Welcome to Listen To Older Voices, a program produced 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.
This is the 4th and final part of the story of the Life & Times of Eileen Hampson. We continue to follow the employment adventures of this “pocket dynamo”, as she moves from teaching in a business college, to becoming its Principal. But the pace of life is almost killing Eileen as she turns the college into a roaring success. In one year with her in charge the college made seven years profit!
So Eileen decides it is time to retire! Really? Eileen ends up as President of the local Bowling Club as well as working within another twenty different community organisations. The stories come thick and fast and there are no dull moments because Eileen lives life to its fullest.
