In Muscle Shoals, Alabama, music runs through the hills, the river, and the spirit of the people. This film offers a compelling, wartsand-all glimpse of one of the most fascinating stories in modern American music. 15
Clyme Tyme I cannot confess to possessing an architect's or town planner's keen eye for what is right and appropriate but, like most people, I have an inate feeling for the visually pleasing. I also find it churlish when people stand on the sideline and criticise the efforts of those participating but I feel I must make a comment about the replacement street lighting being employed in Hythe and elsewhere in the area. I am sure the procurement experts will tell us that the new streetlights are low maintenance, low cost and, with LED lights and other state of the art technology being employed, less expensive and more manageable to run. Who am I to argue with that but I am sure there is one category absent from the buyers checklist and that is empathy. The soon to be removed, seen better days lampost has a character that is lacking in
its taller more modern replacement but which is so appropriate for the area of Hythe where some still currently reside. I am sure there are residents of Faversham that regularly put pen to paper, index fingers to keyboard, to complain of their local or county administrations' short comings but when I have been infrequently to that town I have always been impressed with the blue street signs and general ambiance generated by what looks like thoughtful town planning; true visionaries. 16
It is with much sadness that we heard of the death of Margaret Turnill around midnight on 2 January. Margaret Hennings was born and brought up in Sydenham in Kent. Margaret met and married Reg Turnill in Caxton Hall in Westminster in September 1938 and they lived for forty years in the Hennings family home before leaving and eventually settling in Sandgate. It would be too easy to assume that she was the nest builder whilst he was the hunter gatherer. There is no doubt that she was extremely successful in raising two sons Graham and Michael born 1940 and 1944 but she was also a major contributor in Reg's achievements in journalism and broadcasting traveling extensively with him to places such as the Lebanon and China as well as many trips to the American space centre at Cape Canaveral (later Cape Kennedy) in Florida and Houston in Texas where they built up a formidable reputation, including the fact they endeared themselves to everyone for their devotion to taking tea. The photograph below was taken when they were there to cover the Apollo 13 mission and the Houston we have a problem message. Many of the photographs that now form an important part of the history of their life together were taken by Margaret a Margaret in 1996 with Dame very competent Barbara Cartland photographer and her secretarial and administrative skills were invaluable in ensuring he reach assignments on time and in the right place. Our thoughts go out to her family and particularly Graham who devoted so much time to her welfare following his fathers' death in 2013.
Margaret and Reg in Houston in 1970
In his unpublished memoir Struggling with the Unintelligible, Reg said As for gratitude, that is much easier. It begins with the deeply-felt acknowledgment that my life has been blessed with the care of a loving wife and friend and that both of us reached old age in reasonably good health.
Margaret Turnill Graham Turnill would like to welcome any of you who wish to attend his mother's funeral to be held on 15 February at 2pm at Barham Crematorium. 17
