I have to share my memory of Miss Holdener. I used to sell by Auction the best maidenhair ferns at our Thursday Auctions. She phoned me on a Wednesday morning to arrange a delivery of a fern and to make sure I had her stool ready. She arrived with her friend Mrs Spearman. I couldn't see Hilda. Mrs Spearman said open the boot and there was Miss Holdener hugging the fern keeping it from getting damaged. A true character. RIP. Tom Quinn
