Listen and participate

I've always been fascinated with oral history. Writing the story I heard yesterday about the fish was one thing, to have it on tape would be another. Giving you the ability on this page to listen to the story being told would be perfect. I will try to remember to carry the microphone attachment for my iPod with me.

I have always admired those far-sighted people, such as 56572's local oral historian Marguerite Andrews, who work in this area. Now there is a nation-wide effort called Story Corps to promote and document the stories of our time. Click on the Listen and participate link above, then listen and participate. Do it for your grandkids.
