Interviews

I interviewed three people for my paper. I started with what I felt was my most important person and had a great time. I treated her to lunch and she opened up and I got to record her onto a little digital device that I could upload to my computer. It went really well and much longer than planned but I got so much information--almost two hours worth--as well as names of other key people. But I felt that I needed more variety for my piece so I did another two. One of them was a little awkward, maybe because I was less careful, but I think it was just the person not really trusting me. He didn’t want me to keep the recording after I was done with it. It must be very sensitive material that he is so concerned. The last one was great, though, as I am friends with the person and I found the discourse pleasant. In total it’s about three hours of recorded material with a few good quotes.
