Ep3: Stan Richards and Geoffrey Hutchinson

After a short break we're back with regular episodes in 2026 as we make more of our oral history interviews available online for the first time. It's been 21 years since Stan Richards passed away but he is still fondly remembered, this interview was recorded by John Kelly for the Second Sight magazine in 1983. You will hear more interviews from these tapes later in the series. The second half of this episode pays tribute to Geoffrey Hutchinson who died in January 2025, without his hard work and dedication there probably wouldn't be a Maurice Dobson Museum and Heritage Centre here today. Geoff was the first chair of the museum and was responsible along with a small group of volunteers for the first National Lottery Heritage Funding in South Yorkshire. The interview is a longer version which featured in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H6mfnEfWRI&pp=ygUTbWVtb3JpZXMgb2YgbWF1cmljZQ%3D%3D" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Memories of Maurice</a> Our next episode will be released in time for International Women's Day in March<hr> Hosted on Acast.
