It was a productive Thanksgiving this day. I haven't yet gone thru this in-full. So Ben, let me know if this is a duplicate. God Bless you & your work.

Came across another short recording of Paul at the table ...

Merry Christmas! I haven't really gone through this one too much yet. Paul's sitting at the table & recalling family. I found some cool old family photos & will use occasionally. Peace to you all ... recorded 11.27.09 Sparta, MO

Merry Christmas ya'll. Here's a great one that's just turned up of Paul & Shirley Gass at the dining room table after a visit with the Teasdales & Sinclairs. Paul recounts his parents, their "courting", marriage, work, hard times & share cropping. Great bits here. Ending with a visit from Uncle Rick. I've found several more of these that will post soon. It's a blessing to have these I feel. 

Driving Grandmom home after a birthday lunch in Sykesville (?) (94 years). Talk about her family & Grandfathers when they lived together on 32nd street and the Alameda, near City College (her alma mater) Baltimore, MD.

Long-form sit-down with Grandmother Esbrandt at the kitchen table after Friday afternoon lunch. Angie & I warmed up the conversation regarding her wedding to Fred Paul Esbrandt September 18, 1943 in Baltimore, MD. They were married 53 years, both served in the War, raised three children, & nurtured their aging Grandmothers, Mothers, & Husband in their waning years.

Two parts of Paul J. Gass spinning yarns about working at McDonalds, the Navy, smoking meat, & gardening ... all after Thanksgiving dinner with background commotion abound.

Paul & Shirley Gass on their parents & grandparents starting their life.
