StoryCorps: Oral history project under way in Logan, Utah
StoryCorps, the national oral-history project, began recording interviews between friends and family members this morning in this northern Utah city.
In a Gulf Airstream trailer customized into a recording booth and parked next to the LDS Tabernacle on Main Street, Logan Mayor Randy Watts interviewed his father, Cal Watts, the first of 130 conversations to be recorded here through Aug. 25.
Jose Camilo, an economics and finance student at Utah State University, interviewed sociology professor Eduardo Ortiz, in the second 45-minute interview.
"Our No. 1 goal is that participants have a great conversation that they may not otherwise have had, and that they have a recording to take home with them," said Eliza Bettinger, senior coordinator of the mobile recording booth.
