The Story of My Aunt Marge: In The Clubmobile with Larry Spencer
New for November 2026

36m
This week we're stepping back into our Wive's of The Bloody Hundredth series with a very special episode, and guest. We're joined by Larry Spencer, nephew of the late Marjorie Spencer Cleven and 100th Bomb Group pilot Gale "Buck" Cleven as he shares the story of his aunt, and the man who would prove to be her one true love. Before he was Buck, he was simply Gale Cleven, a young boy who caught the eye of Marjorie as kids, and the rest as they say is history. That history remained close to Buck Cleven's heart for the entirety of his life, even long after Marjorie passed away in the 1950s. The memories that Larry shares are not like what we've seen depicted on screen, and tell a story of friendship, loyalty, family and love that cannot be duplicated. We've poured the coffee and the sinkers are fresh, so join us in The Clubmobile as we reacquaint ourselves with The Wives of The Bloody Hundredth!
