Acknowledgments

 

I would first like to thank Margaret Tallmire-Montgomery who graciously agreed to participate in this life stories project. She generously shared her memories with me and was also kind enough to allow me to include some of her photographs. I am also thankful for the mentorship and direction of Professor John Walsh and the thoughtful insights of my classmates. Thanks also to the contributors of FreeSound which provided the majority of the audio clips I used in the layering.
