    I was lucky enough to meet Jaybee in 1982 at my Aunt Elisabeth’s wedding in Toronto, Canada.
    Josephine Butler is a relative of mine through my Grandfather, Robert Free Osler.
    He also served in WW2, but did not come home alive.
    She gave me her blessing, the only person out of my whole family to be so gifted.
    I was 15 years old, she was 79, and on tour in Canada to promote her book.
    I still remember it now – she was a really small quick and lively Lady who would put a Modern Teen to shame with her spunk and non-conventional way of acting , as well as being bluntly outspoken..
    Yet her outward appearance was very much the Elegant Elderly Patrician Lady..
    I still remember all the details of our conversation to this day.
