Technology and antiques

Another series of projects to come out of Patrick's tech lab are video clips of Mom describing various pieces of antique furniture that she aquired throughout many years. Patrick had the foresight to interview her several+ years ago and record her answers and item descriptions. We miss her greatly, but it is such a joy to hear her speak in such a clear confident voice and bring back many memories. I am amazed at her lack of hesitation in negotiating with old farmers, cranky neighbors, etc., and then transforming what we called junk into real heirloom treasures. Thanks Mom for all that you did and all that you taught us. And thanks Pat for putting wonderful memories in a permanent form.
