   I am fortunate in this for my paternal grandfather. He lived in an old   
   but small community in northern Indiana, and up until WWII he was the   
   community blacksmith.   
      
   In 1953, a person from the local radio station came out to his house and   
   interviewed him. He recorded the inter on a 8" (?) 78 rpm record and   
   gave the family several copies.  I have one.   I have had it digitized   
   and it is now part of my genealogical records.   
      
   When he did the interview, the family came out to his home.  Us kids   
   were herded away from the back porch where the interview was done,   
   because we could not keep quite.
