After 10 years 'Listening,' author and photographer reflect on the chronicling of N.C. history, one speaker and one image at a time(This story appeared in the News and Observer September 21, 2008) By David Cecelski I will never forget my first "Listening to History" interview. It was with a retired nurse named Gretchen Brinson. She was 82 years old and lived in a waterfront neighborhood in Morehead City called the Promise Land. That part of town was settled originally by fishermen who had been driven off their island home on Shackleford Banks, eight miles east, by devastating hurricanes in 1896 and 1899. |
