Well, short post now…I’ll flesh this out with a follow up later. But the morning started out with a rush to the museum. There was a celebration honoring people working with the Timeless Voices oral history project. We got plaques and had to stand on stage while people took pictures and said embarrassing things. Nice, but I realized that I’ve been working at home alone for too long…the attention was a bit overwhelming!
The director made a point of recognizing the one person who wasn’t there who should’ve been. Mel, you’ve got to get better! We’re down on our interviews this year, they’ve had to throw out food at the Media building, and we’ve had a plague of lousy bagpipers. And in windy conditions. I found out more about what Scotsmen wear under their kilts than I ever wanted to. On a hot day. While eating lunch. Urp.See what happens when you’re not here? We missed you this morning!
Other than this, I did a two hour interview with a gentleman (Col. Buls) who seemed to have done a little bit of everything over the years…I’ll expand soon. Tracy and I teamed up for an interview with a young woman born without arms who flew here in her Ercoupe. Delightful young woman.
Managed to get a sunburn today despite my SPF 10,000 sunscreen and wearing a broad-brimmed hat, heavy long-sleeved shirt, and long pants. Weird. And I don’t burn easily.
Oh, and Cliff Robertson stopped by the studio and introduced himself…wow!
Tomorrow is filling up quickly…
