Subject: MY very own RECOLLECTIONS - Extra Credit! 101/100 B G. The questions within this recollection package could very well be used for INTERVIEWING your elders, not only used for yourself. Should you consider interviewing, I offer these ideas: I would suggest using a video camera.....even if the person is NOT VISIBLE on the video.....use it as a tape recorder.... and if you have any photos or other items discussed in the interview, pass them in front of the lens. I have found that if you cover the flashing red light on the video (electricians tape is best), that 'life is better for you' as you tape....plus, they forget about the camera...by the end of your session, they will likely want you to come back for more 'talking'. Also, have your tapes ready to slide into the machine....all unwrapped, etc. etc. etc. have at least two available and ready to GO. ALWAYS remember to hold the photos in YOUR hand as you discuss photos, then you can control the speed at which they are looked at and you get a chance to 'label' them in some way...have a pencil(s) handy.... I plug in the camera before it ever gets onto the tripod. Then as soon as I have the machine locked in place and I have the area in the viewer, I turn on the machine and begin recording..... the time before the actual interviewing is just as much fun as hearing the questions and as you are setting up you can be talking about what you are going to do.. You can comment on what the date is and where you are.......ask them their address and how long they have been there, etc.....instead of breaking the bubble with the formal introduction.....and then trying to recapture the moment... just sit down and start asking questions.... they will be eased into the interview this way but they will ask if the camera is on and just tell them "oh yes" and go on with your questions.... Have a question in mind for when this happens - because it will! Your job as the interviewer is to keep the questions going....and knowing when to add to your question list on the fly.... YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO THIS, you see it happen on TV all the time... now it is YOUR turn.... If you feel that you need to practice, then interview your spouse...which you should do anyway....or YOURSELF! Never ever say "Okay, now we will start".......just start asking! STAY ORGANIZED...don't mix too many people into the interview. If GRANDMA is said, ALWAYS ask "GRANDMA who? and get the real name.... ALWAYS! DO NOT MISS THIS POINT! Ask about their traveling experiences...and work experiences because this is another indication of area(s) where they might have LIVED and that is where some of your records might be. When you take still photos of these folks remember to label them when you get them back from developing! EACH INTERVIEW should be identified with a date and the person at the beginning and on the label....and others present. If you interview again, use a new tape and ask a few questions over again....make sure that you get the same basic response.... Age is a nasty thing sometimes....If they forget something as they talk, go on to another question and come back to the question again... USE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WORDS IN THE REquestion to trigger new thought process.... Forgetting happens to all of us....that 'it is on the tip of my tongue' usually comes back after another question has been answered..... just format the question a bit differently. DO NOT interview with telephones or radios or tv on and with a bunch of people around. Make it one on one if at all possible. INTERVIEWING at a birthday gathering is not a good thing, although sometimes the questions do happen. Be prepared with the video and take what you can get, but try to revisit one-on-one at another time...IN THEIR FAVORITE CHAIR....or at THEIR kitchen table... their comfort zones....NOT in a FORMAL setting or sterile place..... Try to keep your visit on film to about 2 hours, not longer...make a date inside a two week horizon to revisit. They will want you to come back! 'Cause you are now their newest best FRIEND and visitor....(and, you will WANT to go!) I don't suggest that you give prepared questions to the interviewee ahead of time because the response would be too 'canned". What you want from the interview is the essence, the spontaneity of the answer.....You can, later, give them a family group sheet that you have prepared based on the interviewing that you have done so that they can put in the dates and places and so that they can get some help in doing it...almost like homework.... BUT specific dates on the video, at least in the first one, should not be your biggest reason for the interview... Getting an overview of the family and an overview of the places and environments that they have been in, I think, should be the main emphasis. Probably the most important thing to me is to get the video machine turned on as soon as possible so that the entire preparation time before the exact questioning is on the video...this is what makes this video document so valuable.... and it should not be edited. Do not try to edit as you are filming; it will ruin the effort... Keep this original tape as your master for all time and 'clip' from it if you want to, but keep this as your source document... to be continued in C......

Do not drastically change what you have written. Add notes to the bottom of what you have written rather than change your THOUGHT at the original writing. Underline (or in some manner, mark them) those words that you could use as keywords to illustrate... Go into your own files or those of google.com/IMAGES and either place them in their appropriate places in the text or in a separate picture book, (use footnoting techniques to link them ). 2. As you re-read, add FULL names for all the common references you have made (grandma WHO?) - use footnoting techniques for each of your stories so that you do not destroy the casual reading of your work.... D. Create a title page for your "Book" including your full name, date of birth, date of writings, and give the entire compilation a title that you like. E. Create a mini-genealogy chart of all those names on your 'special list" so that your reader has information AT A GLANCE. F. Place ALL the information on some archival media form that you like. Print a copy to use as a master to duplicate for others in your family to be continued in B and C......

Subject: MY very own RECOLLECTIONS - 100/100 1. TALK ABOUT how you took the time to write the answers to these questions - Where did you write the majority of them, in a favorite chair, in a favorite place, describe the routine you went through to 'get yourself ready' , as in: did you get your cup of coffee ready, get the materials from previous notes near to you, get your genealogy material near to you, wear certain clothes, like lounging clothes, or did you quickly fit small amounts of time into your day to type/write some notations, tell of these situations. This can be your introduction to your book. Have someone take a photo of you in this writing place and put it in the book. 2. Did you respond to most of the questions, and if not, how did you select which you would write about, were there any that you absolutely did NOT WANT to respond to and why was that, take the time to return to that question and detail WHY you did not want to respond to that particular cluster. 3. Are you glad that you did this written interview for your family? Do you think that they will enjoy reading it, keep it perhaps as a treasured heirloom? Are you worried about their criticism of 'style' or 'technique' or were you worried but now think the information is of more value than technique? Did you ever speak about the project to others in your circle, and what were their comments, what were your comments about it all at the beginning and what are they now at the end? Remember...... Write as you speak.... Be yourself.... Write liberally...... Do not worry about technique.... It is the THOUGHT that counts - or thoughts! Write as if it might be the LAST time you can address the question... 0 0 0

Ida E. Wesemann of Pingree Grove Funeral services for Ida E. Wesemann, 99, will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, at St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 43W301 Plank Road, North Plato. The Rev. Harold Ross will officiate. Born Dec. 8, 1904, in Plato Township, the daughter of Adolph and Dorthea (nee Volkening) Plote, she passed away Friday, Dec. 12, 2003, at Provena St. Joseph Hospital in Elgin. Burial will be in Lakewood Memorial Park in Elgin. Mrs. Wesemann was raised in the North Plato area. She married Edward Wesemann on Nov. 15, 1924, in North Plato. She and her husband operated the Udina Triangle from 1933 to 1943, and they moved to a farm they had just purchased near Pingree Grove. After her husband's death in 1952, she worked as a cook at the Plato Center Grade School for 16 years, and later at the Starks Triangle Drive-In for 20 years. She was a member of the St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church of North Plato all her life. At the old church, she played the organ for five years, from 1919 to 1924, and four more years during World War II.
