That's Life for Freddie Oakley in 2019

Thu, 03/18/2021 - 11:00am | Lois Richter

Do you remember when Freddie Oakley was our Elections official for Yolo County?  She has done so much more than that!  I've know Freddie for many years, interviewed her here several times, had her as a guest on my television series back in the 1990s, and she even hosted that show once ("Thoughtfulness" on DCTV).  Today on That's Life, we reminisce about the old days (good old days? bad old days?) and hear what Freddie has been doing since she retired. 

Retired?  HAH!  Busier than ever is more like it!  Hope you enjoy the chat.
