It’s that time again for the next video interview of a member of the Briggs family – Stanley “Richard” Briggs.  Richard is the youngest child of Stanley and Irene Briggs, and my uncle.

Uncle Rich and I met up the week before the interview to have a chat about the questions.  As I had mentioned in my Video Alert post, he had a ton of stories to share!  I knew the interview would be longer than the others that I had done but I was able to “rein” him in a couple of times and we kept it to a short 50 minutes.  I just wanted to ensure there were more stories to share so we can get together again – I’m very much looking forward to it!

During the interview with my Aunt Evelyn, we had issues with the recording so this time we decided (as in my son, Jeremy and I) to use my cell phone hoping the visual would be better.  I do have a new laptop but according to Jeremy, the video would look way better coming from the phone. Well, the visual was immensely better but unfortunately the sound was not (something he happened to mention just before the interview started).  I sincerely apologize for the fact that it is very hard to hear – I found if I used my headphones at full level, it was easier.  We are in the process of trying to get better equipment in the very near future to do this better for everyone to enjoy.

The video will have a blip in the middle as it stopped recording and started again about half way through. I learned something new putting two videos together to make one!

During my visit to Uncle Rich’s home, he shared with me a couple of treasures he had in the spare bedroom – needless to say, I was in awe!  Hoping one day to share pics in future posts.

Any questions or comments for myself or my Uncle Rich, please post them, I would love to hear from you!
