Thank you GA for great post and interesting introduction. I am only sad it is posthumously. Libby must have been a fascinating person to talk to and probably it was difficult to narrow down your conversation into one post.
I have found her on Flickr and see she was actively taking beautiful photos in 2023. The section I have linked is very interesting as she tells her story with personal photos documenting own her life

In the 1980s, I lived in Sherman Oaks, California and friends, the Schnitzers had an extraordinary collection of Vintage photos with dogs. I wondered if his collection was purchased by Libby Hall.

Dear Mrs. Hall

As a guide dog instructor with a great interest in history I was really suprised to see your book ‘These were our Dogs’.
I am also a collector of old pics with dogs but my interest is limited to blind people. Last year I wrote a book about the 100 year history of guide dogs. Although the book is written in Dutch it maybe of great interest to you.
Can you please send me your postal address and I will send you a copy of it.

Kind Regards
Kees

Hi Libby. Long time no hear from or about. It’s Nicky from school. I have just come back from a w/end in suffolk and spent some time in the Engineers. They were very proud of the Guardian article and they hope to have some of the photos in the pub at some time. In a bizzar twist it turns out that the pub is now run by my cousin.

Do drop me an e-mail and perhaps catch up some time.

Libby,
My father was friends with Pete Garvan, the last owner of the most photographed cocker in the world, My Own Brucie. Both my parents and the Garvans bred and showed cockers for years. Do you happen to have any pictures of any of their dogs?
I look forward to hearing from you.

I have a photo of my Grandfather in his Lancashire Regiment uniform taken in the 1920’s with a terrier on a table. Probably taken just before he was shipped to India and Burma. Very similar to the one above. Email me and I will send it

Thought you might like to see a photo of my Dad, 1944 or 45 in Europe during WWII with a pup they named “Herman the German”.
Just email me and I’ll attach the photo.

Does anyone know how to find out who is in the photos? There is one photo Libby Hall has called “smilin” and the woman in the photograph looks exactly like me. A friend of my husbands stumbled across the picture and I am curious to know if I’m related to the woman in the photo.
