I once worked with someone who was well aquainted with the Tolkien family. Her husband had been a collegue of Professor Tolkien at Oxford.

It's one of my great regrets in life that I didn't find out about her conections with JRRT until long after she had retired. I missed the chance to gain some insight of the private life of the great man and the opportunity to answer some of the points raised here.
