Today Jesse catches up with Vicki Lee, who has spent a lot her time touring rest homes around New Zealand to perform Dame Very Lynn's music for residents who remember it from World War II.
Through that work she became close to Dame Vera, and now she has co-authored a new booked called The Career That Chose Me, with British historian Dr June Goodfield.
She talks to Jesse about how she became close to Vera and the book.
