sound editor Frank Gregorsky started interviewing his sister when she was
not quite two. Today, at age 55, he can put anyone at ease with a microphone.
Most folks love to talk, and Frank excels at listening -- followed by editing.
Preserve the conversational feel, but organize the topics, and give them
titles. The result is a package of
custom-edited audiodiscs (or mp3 and
iTunes files, if you prefer) that go beyond genealogy, and beyond the best
scrapbooks...
I kept thinking, as I was listening to these [discs]: "This is like listening
to a book on tape." I was fully focused and concentrated and interested -- and
was sad when I had to put it down to go do something. "Oh, I want to keep
listening..." I could ask my family anytime I wanted to about [parts of our
history] but you don't. And then you forget about it, or it becomes too late,
and people die -- and then you wish: Oh
my gosh, I never asked that; I wish
I knew. From that aspect, I think these are really valuable. You get a lot
of information that you might not take the time to ask for until it's too late. |

Frank – I really wanted to talk to you in person and not leave
a message, but: You really outdid yourself. The cover’s great, and I
particularly love all the descriptions you gave, for each disc, in the table of
contents. It’s just absolutely wonderful, and I’m so, so thankful. You did a
fabulous job. |
