Well, it’s finally here! The first video interview of a living family member, not to mention, the oldest living member of the Briggs family – Grant Briggs (my dad!). Although he is the oldest of our family, at times he does tend to act like the youngest!

While interviewing my dad, it was interesting to see how serious he was at times. While I didn’t remind him this was supposed to be fun, I do have to remember that people are not used to doing interviews so it will take a little coaxing to get them to loosen up. I have to admit, I’m not used to doing interviews as well, it is wayyyyy outside my comfort zone. I’m hoping by doing this, other family members will have an insight into some of their family history and what others were like when they were younger and we didn’t know them then.

The questions I asked were given well ahead of time so Dad had plenty of time to prepare. Although this was his first interview for my blog, I’m hoping there will be more. I will be interviewing one of his siblings next, so keep an eye out for that to be posted. In the meantime, have a listen and get to know him a little more. If you think of any questions you would like to ask him, please make a comment and he would be very happy to answer. Or, the alternative, let me know and I can add it to the next time I chat with him.

Thanks to Dad for starting what I hope is a long list of interviews to come. Enjoy!
