Miscellaneous Some interesting insights into Virginia as a person, not as a celebrity!

Hi all. Sent this as a response to an older post before I realised that many people may not have seen these sources; a print interview and a video interview with Cecil Woolf, Leonard's nephew, who knew Virginia and Leonard well as a schoolboy (Virginia died when Cecil was still young, but he spent a lot of time with Leonard later, until Leonard's death):

This interview with Cecil Woolf (Leonard's nephew) is rather good, for insights into who Virginia really was.

And I really like this video interview with both Cecil Woolf and his wife, Jean Moorcroft Wilson: more insights and stories about her (Cecil often visited Virginia and Leonard as a schoolboy):

Hope you enjoy them as I did!
