Interview with Margie Fraga Radjewski

This interview was recorded on May 28, 1989.  Liana Spalla (a friend of the family) was the interviewer.  

The audiotape was recently rediscovered and Ralph Fraga graciously digitized the tape so that we can post it on our website.  The stories contained in the interview are well worth the inconvenience of the recording.  Margie relates stories about her early years, various stories about her siblings and parents, her trip to Mexico in 1948, and other gems.  I know you will enjoy them for the amazing look back from her unique perspective!

I apologize in advance for the poor quality of the audio – it was recorded outside under less-than-ideal conditions with activities going on.  I believe the value of the content far exceeds the issues with the audio quality.
