HILDA KEELER says her secret to a long life and happy marriage is when both partners are willing to give and take. And Hilda should know, she turns 100 this month at Erowal where she is greatly admired for her piano skills.
Hilda is a classically trained pianist who has been a very gifted teacher. Today Hilda’s musical talents still bring hours of pleasure to the residents who share her lodge.
Hilda was born in London in 1910 and can vividly recall early memories as a child growing up in London during World War 1.
As a schoolgirl of six or seven along with her classmates, she recalls being shown how to sit under her school desk in the event of an air raid by German Zeppelin airships.
This amazing woman spent World War 11 working in the British War Office for Winston Churchill and had regular chats with General Eisenhower when he visited.
The highlight of Hilda’s life these days is spending time with her son Richard and entertaining her companions on the piano.
