I’ve written a fair amount of text, pulled a number of quotes, and have a bit of a start on the labels for the images. I sent out what I have so far to team members for editing. I have already heard back from Karen and Richard, and they both like what I’ve written so far. (a relief!)

Jess has two batches of images printed and mounted already and they’re looking really good! I have requested everyone’s help to start gathering “stuff” for the cases—things that will add interest.

Went to Jerome for Katie’s oral history. She wasn’t feeling very well but didn’t want to postpone the interview. Most of her answers were fairly canned but I managed to throw some surprise questions in. We had to stop part way through as she was coughing. I asked if she wanted to continue and she wanted to know what the rest of the questions were. Unfortunately, some of the “good stuff” about her views of population problems was off camera. Lesson learned—don’t reveal the questions beforehand.

We met with Noel, the web designer. Peter mostly talked with him while I showed Katie images I had so far. She didn’t want to look at the Glen-After images but said it was okay to include them in the case.
