Oral History Project
Team Members 1986 and 1987
The Oral History Project team was appointed during and after Christmas 1985/86. I hired Brent Howell as manager and Christine Bown, Martha Drake, Paul Kenny, Cynthia Layden, and Fran Warren as trainee interviewers. It was to be a 16-week project, and at the end of this period several trainees left for other positions. I had rented space from Waldo Scharwey, owner of West End Electronics, and I purchased tape recorders and cassettes, rented a photocopier, installed phones, and gathered some used furniture. I applied for a further grant and Waldo, very kindly, allowed me to hold on to my rental space while awaiting a response from CEIC and their political superiors. Then in the fall of 1986, the Project received another grant and we continued, with personnel joining and leaving at various times and several persons coming on board at the end to finish the last typing. The Project wound up in December 1987, when I returned to my position at MUN.
The following is a list of the team members for the entire project: Brent Howell, first manager; Paul Kenny, second manager; Fran Warren, third manager; and Josephine McGrath, fourth and last manager; Kevin Bussey, Michelle Cleary, Marie Curran, Michael Dinn, Martha Drake, Keith Hewitt, Cynthia Layden, Cathy LeBlanc, Ken Maher, Joe Pinsent, Scott Tuck, Patricia Warren, and Linda White.
