My local newspaper, the Anderson Observer, taped an interview with me last week about how I started collecting diaries and writing this Substack newsletter. It’s about 16 minutes long. Pour yourself another cup of coffee and listen in.

The photo by Greg Wilson shows me holding the 1937 diary of a little boy.
