Memories of Milton Keynes by Marion Hill
People living in the Milton Keynes area forty years ago came under the auspices of three towns, thirteen villages and a country council. Many changes have taken place in this time and it is the people, whose experiences and reminiscences are recorded here, who have shaped the area into the remarkable city it is today. 'Wives did not work. Their job was to stay at home, keep it clean and tidy, look after the children and make sure there was a cooked meal on the table when the husband got home from work. There was no such thing as microwaves and washing machines. If you were lucky you had a Goblin vacuum cleaner. All the meals were cooked with fresh vegetables and the pies were home made.' All contributions come from the oral archives kept at the Living Archive of Milton Keynes which has been collecting reminiscences from city residents since 1975, and are complemented by 100 photographs from their collection.
Hill, Marion: - Marion Moore Hill writes two series of mystery novels, with four titles published in her Scrappy Librarian Mysteries and three titles published in her Deadly Past Mysteries. The former series features nosy but kindly librarian Juanita Wills solving mysteries that threaten the peace in her small Oklahoma town. Novels in the Deadly series are contemporary mysteries that revolve around events in the lives of Founding Fathers (Benjamin Franklin in Deadly Will, Thomas Jefferson in Deadly Design, and John, Abigail, and Samuel Adams in Deadly Kin). She lives in Oklahoma with her husband, Dr. Elbert Hill, a retired university professor.
