SinclairGass Family interviews

Came across another short recording of Paul at the table ...

Merry Christmas! I haven't really gone through this one too much yet. Paul's sitting at the table & recalling family. I found some cool old family photos & will use occasionally. Peace to you all ... recorded 11.27.09 Sparta, MO

Merry Christmas ya'll. Here's a great one that's just turned up of Paul & Shirley Gass at the dining room table after a visit with the Teasdales & Sinclairs. Paul recounts his parents, their "courting", marriage, work, hard times & share cropping. Great bits here. Ending with a visit from Uncle Rick. I've found several more of these that will post soon. It's a blessing to have these I feel.
