January 6th
Dutch Motor magazine published a photograph of Olga Kevelos
"Olga Kevelos was an astronomer, 'Idle Woman', motorcycle racing champion, Mastermind contestant, a much-loved (and respected) pub landlady, an energetic parish councillor, sometimes a very wicked humourist, and a good friend to many, many people in King's Sutton and beyond."
A very good friend of Rex McCandless, she is quoted as saying, "I prefer playing with the boys".
