Below is a summarized synopsis: [Side A] In this 1995 interview, Roswell Weidner discusses various aspects of life in the area, focusing on its history, the local community, and the art school that once operated there. He reflects on the development of the land, including the planting of non-native evergreen trees, which he believes were introduced by city people unfamiliar with the area. Weidner shares memories of the art school, noting that while it once had about 65 students, the financial challenges of the rural setting made it difficult for students to earn a living. He contrasts this with city life, where students could more easily find work. He also recalls a few of the area's early automobile owners, mentioning a woman from New York who learned to drive a car in 1932, and reminisces about social activities such as going to church or the movies with others in the community. The conversation offers insights into a simpler, more rustic time, shaped by both local traditions and external influences. -- Media is recorded on cassette tape in physical archives. digitized version was created by recording cassette tape recording onto the ReShow Cassette Converter and the Sound Recorder App that is standard on Windows, and then the audio recording was cleaned and optimized using Adobe Podcast Studio software.
