Fenprobe wishes all our listeners a Happy Christmas and New Year. We shall not be reading for you over the holidays - our next recording will be the Ely Standard of 9th January 2025.
Maureen Fresco We are sad to tell you of the death of Maureen Fresco who, with her husband Harry, was an extremely generous supporter of Fenprobe for over forty years. Maureen joined the Fenprobe team of volunteers in 1981 - these were the days in which taped recordings were made in people's homes, and the Frescos soon had a row of fast copiers and piles of cassettes taking up their top landing. Moving to studio accomodation for the recording sessions finally freed up the space at home, but Maureen continued with reading and serving on the Fenprobe committee for many more years. Listeners will know that, remarkably, aged 98, she continued to read regularly with the Littleport -Juniper Group until only a few months ago. Thank you for all you have done Maureen, you are much missed. Maureen's funeral will be at March Crematorium on 4th January at 12.30 27th November 2024 |
