Subject: Wisconsin Story Booth (Sterling Hall Bombing): final results

{Note: I apologize for not sending out this s
ummary sooner. Blame Point 3. TR}
I email for three reasons. First a belated th
ank you to everyone who told their story, volunteered to facilitate at the
story booth, and publicized this event in any way. We averaged basically a
story and half per hour, meaning we finished with over 95 stories deposited
into the booth! None of that would have happened without your work.
Second, even though the booth has been out of
Memorial for over a week now, there are still ways for folks to leave thei
r Sterling Hall Bombing stories with us. If they want to tell their stories
, they can call my phone number 608-890-1899 and leave their story as a mes
sage on my voice mail (after 4:30 pm or before 8:30 am will get them right
to my voice mail). They would need to leave their name, number, and mailing
address, so I can send them a release form.
Or, if they would rather write out their stor
ies, they can email it to uwarchiv@library.wisc.edu or send it U.S. mail (U
W—Madison Archives, 430 Steenbock Library, 550 Babcock Dr., Madison, WI 5
3706).
And, either Mike Lawler, from the Wisconsin S
tory Project, or I will be getting in touch with people who felt their stor
y best fit into a more structured interview to set up and conduct oral hist
ory interviews this fall and winter.
Basically, the Story Booth was the not the be
ginning and end but the beginning of getting a more complete picture of the
bombing (and the larger Vietnam Era on campus and the community) from as m
any folks who experienced it as possible.
Third and final, we finished our mini-movie a
nd podcast on the Sterling Hall Bombing (great thanks to Erin Dix for her w
ork on them) and have posted the movie to YouTube and the podcast to our we
bsite. You can go to our webpage at http://archives.library.wisc.edu/oral-h
istory/campusvoices.html and click on the Sterling Hall bombing link.
Once again, thanks to all!
