Thanks again to Joe for digitally preserving these these archival interviews and making them more accessible to the public.

It was a privilege to play a role in recording these Island voices long ago.

Robert--

You took the time and put in the efforts and gained the background information to do these interviews in a very professional manner. I'm happy to be able to provide these and other videos to the island people and those interested in the island.

Thank you so much for all your work!
