Her life as a nurse, mother of twins, and wife to a bush pilot.
Her name was Frances.
In Part 3 of the Sawle Family Film, Linda Redmond introduces her mother Frances Loretta Warham and her parents (Linda's maternal grandparents). Frances met North Sawle when she was just 15. She married North Sawle on April 20, 1938. Reading from France's life story transcript, Linda tells how the two fell in love and how much North meant to Frances. In 1942, they adopted two identical twins named Leslie and Linda. This is the story of their early years.
Made in 6 short parts, The Sawle Family Story is a film that starts with the account of North Sawle's parents (Linda's grandparents) and their pioneering life in frosty Athabasca Landing in the early 1900s. Part 5 coming in March 2011 also tells the account of the horrific crash of the Comet jet airliner in March 1953, in which Linda's father died.
