AUDIO: As with all, or at least “most”, things I do, I learn as I go – I’m going to try to do a weekly audio program with some of it done via phone. I thought it might be of interest to record telephone interviews from the museum – or maybe from the Olympic Club where my wife and I now abide. This and idea I’ve had in mind for at least 30 years – but have never taken the time to try work it out. (I was good deal more creative and enthusiastic about doing it in those early years. Now I’m just curious.)

As for the telephone part I would like to arrange some calls from former residents. I did an interview over the phone some years ago with late resident Dick Parsons and his wife who had moved to the South. (That interview can be heard if one visits the Vermilion History Museum Theatre webpage.) It worked out well.

The biggest problem I’ve always had (and still do) with projects like this is that I tend to be a veritable “one-man-band”. The means that I try to (and) do “everything”. And that is a mistake. It detracts from the quality of the project. But, alas, it is way too late for me to change.

Anyway, if your phone rings.
