Interviews were conducted on
February 25 and 27. Veterans were greeted in the lobby and
escorted to the library where they were introduced to the student
or students who would be interviewing them.

in the project.

Sarrah's students then transcribed
the interviews and passed them along to Lisa Olson's Publishing
and Design Students who turned the scripts into booklets.
