In The Archive Room this week ....
Irene Shimmin recalls a fascinating family history, shares some memories of her own childhood, and describes the start of her teaching career.
Laurie Davies tells how wonderful childhood holidays in Ramsey filled him with a love for the Island which later shaped his life as a teacher
and Jean Skinner (nee Corkish) explains how she was truly 'blessed' as a baby - and shares stories of her family life at Ballakilley, and, at the outbreak of the 2nd World War, her decision to leave school and join the Land Army.
These are wonderful characters, with so many other great stories to share - and they'll be returning in future episodes of the programme, to tell us more!
