I’m happy to report that I already have my first oral history narrator signed up! The letters only went out on Friday, so I wasn’t expecting a response so soon. The narrator called me yesterday, very eager to participate. He lived here from 1958 to 1963 and already began telling me stories of life at Edgewood back then. Now I need to get going on finalizing the narrator agreement, research, and all of the other steps needed to prepare. The interview isn’t scheduled yet, but I proposed meeting in November and he was fine with that. He wants to come to Edgewood for the interview so that he can tour the campus, which I think is a nice idea.
I also just ordered my first set of white cotton gloves for any photographs and artifacts I find during my survey. I almost feel like a professional now!
