Russell Hoddinott was 77 years old (in 2006, at the time of recording), and still had clear memories of his childhood. He was born in New Zealand in 1929 and lived with his parents and older brother in Lower Hutt, near Wellington. This podcast has been created by his grandson, Andrew Kendall, to record Russell's memories and stories of his life growing up in New Zealand in the 1930s and 1940s.more
