Mrs Townsend used to work with my mother Pearl Pope, at Homedale, I remember when I had my first child, mum's first grandchild, mum went to work and woke her up, Mrs Townsend told mum she should have known better than to do that,All the nurses on duty that night had turns at getting my girl back to sleep

In later years I would see her at the Salvation Army shop, she would always ask how my mum and dad were
