Griffith during WWII

June McGrane (30 June 1932 – 21 May 2021) shares details about life in Griffith when the second world war raged, 1939-45 

She remembers the trenches dug at the high school and air raid drills, as well as a bomb shelter built in the site now known as Memorial Gardens. 

One remarkable recollection is the concern of locals for the real possibility of an invasion by the Japanese after the bombing of Darwin, because there was only one place in Australia where they grew rice! 

June was a long-serving volunteer at Griffith Pioneer Park Museum, where this interview was filmed during February 2017.

Not love

Two in every three men are liars

That's my takeaway from the study that found "One in three Australian men say they have committed intimate partner abuse." 

One of the questions was "Have you ever behaved in a manner that has made a partner feel frightened or anxious? (emotional-type abuse)" 

I know I've made my partner anxious when I raise my voice and overtake cars on the highway. 

Not saying that it's right, but it does seem a very low bar to be considered "intimate partner abuse."

Love

I'm grateful for the love of my family, particularly my partner of 23 years: Jo

This morning my Facebook Memories had this post and it's illustrated with a graphic she published to my profile yesterday:

In last night's subconsciousnews I dreamed that the vibrational field created by Jason and my love for one another was so powerful that it spread throughout the entire Universe in all directions of space and time. 

It was so significant an event that it was taught as history in text/books on other planets, and also anecdotally in the form of oral myths and stories passed down the generations among all sentient beings.
