The Last W.O.C. Entry

So... yeah, my research experiences were interesting. I spent several hours at the Kodiak Library. I did three of my interviews there. I found some really good books that describe Kodiak perfectly. The Librarians were very helpful, especially Ms. Ellie and Ms. Molly. I had the opportunity of looking at the January-November 1964 newspapers on the microfilm machine. I also have a magazine that my first interview subject loaned to me, that really describes the damage of the earthquake. Other than that, my the rest of my research came from class and my interviews. I'm really glad that I got to interview that I did. One subject said that before she would start shaking every time she talked about the earthquake.I thought that was really amazing. Another said that he remembers being hit by a car, just a few months prior. So he was just learning to walk again when the earthquake struck. I don't the relevance of this, but I just thought that it was interesting. I mean, talk about bad luck. My meeting with Alice was great. She gave me a lot of photos, she remembers her sons hollaring out the window to the national guardsmen, asking them if they wanted coffee. I just thought that that was funny. I interviewed Sonny Vinberg, Molly Macintosh, Marie Rice, Mary Morris, Reynald Morris, and Lila Schwantes.
