Congratulations on the launch! As promised (isn’t RSS wonderful?) I have linked to this site on my Oral Histories Links page  at

Keep up the good work - if you have any technical questions, please let me know.

Susan,

Excellent website!  I like your style and your goals. 

Do you know about the Association of Personal Historians?  I am a member of the APH and I think you might find it a worthwhile organization to check out also.  You can access the APH website at:  http://www.personalhistorians.org

In any event, good luck to you with the wonerful work you’re doing!

Bruce, yes, I’m aware of APH.. we have a nodding acquaintance. I nod at it, and it <strike>nods</strike>... well I don’t know what  it does toward me. . was just visiting the personal historians dot org site recently, and I think I linked to the site a while back… why yes, here  and here.  I wish to get in contact with someone from the APH who’s in the Southern California area, to learn more. (um, my ToDo list for this site is lengthy… got as far as looking through the directory and that was that. But I’ll let this be a reason to try again) 

Lee, thanks! Workshop participants? Please tell more!!

And Richard, thanks! You know  you’re up for one of my first fone-call-to-podcast interviews.

Hi Susan,
(My last message disappeared in the middle of writing it, so I’ll try again).
I’ve enjoyed the story of recording your Grandpa. I had a similar experience in discovering “oral history” with my Nanna before she died.  My method is now so much more sophisticated, I’m wishing I had that equipment back then. Please visit my site to see my work. Your proposed site has enormous potential and I wish you luck. Are you coming to the International Conference in Sydney, July 2006? I’m the Secretary of OHAA in Queensland and love “oral history”.
Good luck, Suzanne Mulligan

Susan,

Wonderful start to recording and sharing oral history! Way to go. Your site is inviting, and meaningful to me as I attempt to get digital storytelling going in my/our part of the world.

We have been working with school children in our area to record personal, meaningful stories about family and friends.

I look forward to hearing more oral histories on your podcast.

Take care,

Kent from Canada!

great to see the new site.  I will refer to it often as I have some of the same techical problems and I’m phobic to boot. fun to see the public birth of this project after having been privy to its conception!

Hi,

I am 41-years-old male from South Korea. (Not the North Korea with nukes aiming at other countries)

I heard your podcast today. I really liked your story, especially the idea of recording your grandfather’s life story. I vaguely thought maybe I should try that with my father who never had much talk with his sons for the whole of his life.

I also expect to hear from you many tips on transfer of audio information to CDs.

Keep up the good work!
