Bob has graciously allowed me to find a home for this interview here on his blog. Bob knew my aunt, Joane Humphrey, whose radio pen name was J. J. McColl, from early days, and shares some lovely photos of her elsewhere on the blog.

I was recently able to purchase a reel to reel tape recorder in good condition and began digitizing a big box of tapes that Joane, a broadcaster, had sequestered in the loft of the cabin she left us (nephews and a niece) when she passed in 2008. Among this treasure trove of audio was a recording of an interview she did with Albert Savoie in 1972 discussing his long life on the sea especially as builder and operator of Hornby’s early ferries. This is a very gently edited (for clarity) version of the audio recording.
