eejit 9 Posted January 22, 2005 She'll be 93 this year, I believe. Don't have a DOB yet unfortunately. Good call though, she didn't look that strong back in those crazy days of '99. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,704 Posted January 24, 2005 In her own words "I am not technical,' crazy lady. I'd completely forgotten her. I'm assuming from the tone of the posts so far that she is definitely still alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cailean Posted June 30, 2005 David Burke, whose biography of Mrs Norwood is due out next year, said: “As a woman she was everybody’s favourite granny. She was very kindhearted. ". “I did not want money. It was not that side I was interested in. I wanted Russia to be on an equal footing with the West.” “I did what I did not to make money but to help prevent the defeat of a new system which had at great cost given ordinary people food and fares which they could afford, good education and a health service.” “In general terms, one shouldn’t betray one’s country. But if, for example, this Government decided to work against Cuba . . . I have great admiration for Cuba, I would help them. I would do it again.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
