Narrator:
Kennedy, George
Record ID:
2007.1.113
Interviewer:
Gildemeister, Jerry
Abstract:
George Kennedy's interview is very short, but contains several humorous poems and songs. He also tells the story of how he rolled a dice to convince a woman to marry him.

Mabel Kennedy's interview took place during the week after May 18, 1980. She did not know about the eruption of Mt. St. Helens until the interviewer, Jerry Gildemeister told her about it.

Rick Steber's interview has a promotional tie—in with his book, "Traces." It's an account of his tracing the Oregon Trail in 1979.
