Chronicles: Dirk

Dirk wasn't sure how he'd go in his Chronicles session, wondering if he'd remember any stories or anecdotes, or how he'd feel with a recorder and camera in front of him. Turns out he had nothing to worry about, and his family now have beautiful keepsakes of their wonderful Dad, Grandad and Great Grandad to listen to and look at for years to come. Thank you to Dirk and his family for allowing me to share some of his stories and images.
