Victor Otazua an early resident (VoiceThread is down)

Victor Otazua is up on voice thread after some refinement this morning. Victor was a Basque who worked for the Breckenridge family after immigrating to the United States in the 1950s. He took many trips home to visit his family and originally planned on returning to his homeland with enough money to get started again. Because of his unique background, Victor is a very interesting character to learn about and he is fun to listen to because of his unusual accent.

The next oral history is of Rink Williams and, because of its length and his slower speech mannerisms, editing his interview may take a bit longer than other histories I have done thus far. In the first section of his story I was able to grab a sound-bite of Miriam Breckenridge talking about why she composed these histories. If you are interested, check it out.

Thanks for checking in again to see how the project is going. Here is another retouched photo...., however, I'm going to need to edit some more photos before I run out!! It may be a while before you hear much from Rink Williams.

In other news, VoiceThread.com is down temporarily today. It should be back up sometime soon. They have a log on the site updating users on current events. Keep posted and we'll just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.
