That sounds great, SRS!

I will be transcribing them and will add them in, somehow, to the fictionalized novel I've written, On Garfield Creek, which is based on my dad's oral history. There wasn't enough to make a book without my adding a whole lot more, so finally decided to go that route. What I may do is keep the contemporary stories, from my dad's time, in a special part of the book which gives the real life background for the novel, which will also include granddad's cowboy and love poems as well as some old photos. I had a neat vote of approval from a 98 year old friend of my parents' who read the first edited draft and really liked it. I was pleased as it meant I may have the voices and historical things accurate. (I did a lot of research whilst writing it.) Plus, for people who want it, I will also dad's recording of his oral history on CD, that way folks can hear the real deal...and that Western Colorado drawl.:-) (And, I *think* I will finish another novel of my series during NaNoWriMo this Nov.!)
