Joan Bright Astley, RIP


The old gal died on Christmas Eve at 98. She was a secretary in Churchill's wartime Cabinet Office, the one built underground to withstand the blitz--it's a must see if you're in London. Astley pretty much wrote down everything she saw and heard during those years, some of it highly amusing: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/4077305/Joan-Bright-Astley.html.
