    2. Double copies: I recommend notes as well as a tape when interviewing. Notes jotted down can remind one to ask about something that caught your ear while they were telling one story and before getting caught up in still another, you can always ask about it. Also, notes provide a backup, just in case you find that the recorder ate the tape. The same is true with cemetery walking. I photograph tombstones that I want the data from, but just in case they don't turn out (can't afford to do instant pictures the way I take pictures in a cemetery), I make sure the data is also hand written. It also serves as a reminder of which cemetery held which stones, in case of visiting several different ones on the same trip/roll of film. Karen
