Brad will share the arc of Virginia Hall's life, in her own pictures. Before she died in 1982, she gave Brad's mother two wooden boxes filled with photos, passports, and the wireless radio (disguised in a suitcase) that she used to send Morse code messages from Nazi occupied France to HQ in London during the four months before D-Day and the three months after. She lived an epic life.
Baltimore born, Brad Catling grew up with a fly-on-the-wall view of an American hero's life. Virginia Hall never divulged her secret activities to her family. He just knew her as our grey haired, poodle-loving, slightly terrifying, one legged, ex spy. Now retired from non profit work, He lives in Potsdam with his wife Julie.
