“My lesson in life was from my grandparents. So it’s from all those legends I heard as a child – those were the lessons I learned.”
Recorded on September 1, 1997.
This is an excerpt from a much longer recording of a conversation between Elsie and the late Mary George.
Mary’s responses to Elsie, which were almost entirely interjections, were taken out in the version in the book for reasons of space. The excerpt is presented here as the segment was originally recorded and transcribed.
