This photo may have been from the day the recording was made. I was able to do some surgery on the old cassette tape and got the B side digitized and uploaded. This is my Dad’s maternal Grandmother being interviewed by her daughter Peggy, my grandmother, in about 1966. It’s an absolutely amazing recording that touches on brave Indian girls and South American gold mines.

I’m so glad to see that treasured bit of history again. I had heard almost all of it before in bits and pieces from family discussions way back into childhood not making much connection as to who of what. They were much like a picture puzzle. In time, the more complete they got they connected an understanding as I got older and without a means of recovering them in writing or memory they were to be gone forever.
In that same pile of photographs there my Mother took us on a trip to Goaliad and showed us where my Grandfather taught school and where they lived. I remember it was near or in a now state park.

Also a trip to Indianola. I have seen pictures of Russell in diapers sitting in her lap in about a foot if water.
Life is the process of putting it all together over a lifetime tells a remarkable interesting story to take to your grave.
