I took a high school history class called Local History. One of our assignments was to interview two local residents, over the age of 65. What a wonderful assignment and no matter who we chose, we were impacted by the final result. Of course that was in the day of cassette tapes but I know that the high school kept copies of each and every tape and they are catalogued there to this day.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849551351155519101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-80577459804114669752012-06-07T06:17:36.020-06:002012-06-07T06:17:36.020-06:00Hi Ruth!

I know our historical society is always interested in the oral history projects that classes do.
