Retired
Worked at Bata Maryport in her teens and then again when she was married
"To me, in Zlín Mr Bata was more like a god ... he was he was everywhere! Everybody recognized the Bata name. It's just bought home to me how important a man he was, and his philosophy on life. If everybody could take a leaf out of his book, they wouldn't live a bad life at all."
