Josephine, requiescat in pace, was a dear friend, she died yesterday in a nursing home in Bend, Oregon, after a long illness. This fine lady contributed to the BBC's WW2 People's War archive under the name Odyssey: BBC - WW2 People's War - Memories WW2 - The Second World War: Josephine Hoogstede 1921-2012
Josephine Hoogstede RIP Better known to her admirers as Odyssey, her fascinating stories, modest but yet overwhelming in their depiction of a woman who devoted her life to serving others, she will be sorely missed by all those who knew of her exploits. Go to the BBC site, and marvel at this lovely lady. BBC - WW2 People's War - Memories Thank you Peter for the notification Ron
Josephine (Odyssey) R.I.P. A peaceful sleep at last. You will be sadly missed. It is but the end of one journey and the beginning of another. (I have been re-readng your "People's War" accounts. They are as vivid as the first time).
Josephine was a good friend and will be missed for her life stories on the BBc war series RIP Odessey Tom
