Reisz
Alright and my name is Autumn Reisz and it is March 2nd, 2013 and I am talking with Algerine today at the History Harvest. And we're going to talk about some of the items that she brought today.
Reisz
So, first, ah, how did you hear about us and our event today?
Miller
Ah, Meghan [Vance] and, um—I can't think of her name.
Reisz
I know Meghan came to see you. Was it Dr. [Rosalind J.] Beiler? Did you talk to her? Um, I am trying to think of who else went out.
Miller
Dr. who?
Reisz
Dr. Beiler—Rose?
Miller
Yes, Rose. I talked to Rose. Yes, yes.
Reisz
Did you talk to Rose? Um, Excellent.
Reisz
And then, um, tell us what you brought today.
Miller
Well, today I brought some documents going back in my family history. The birth of my father.
Reisz
Thanks. Very nice. That is fantastic. What else do you have?
Miller
And I have the property deed for the property which we still have.
Reisz
Nice.
Miller
This is my father, my father's mother. My father and mother. My father's mother. My mother's sister and her husband. My father's three brothers—I mean two brothers. That's another picture of my father. That's an earlier picture. My brother who's deceased, on the left. My brother who's deceased. This is my family.
Reisz
Is that the house?
Miller
That's the house. Yes.
Reisz
Excellent.
Miller
This is a picture of my sister who was attached to the White House. And she has a picture with…
Reisz
Ah, yeah!
Miller
With President [Bill] Clinton.
Reisz
That is fantastic! Well, I am going to give these back, because they're a little fragile.
Miller
Mmkay.
Reisz
So you said ya'll have had that house and that property for how long?
Miller
1946, I believe.
Reisz
Yeah? Still living there and, ah…
Miller
Still living there. The house's still standing. [laughs]
Reisz
Now you brought these particular pictures to be scanned today, because they are—they are very significant to you? And you wanted to make sure you had digital copies, right?
Miller
[nods] Yes.
Reisz
Is there one in particular that you really wanted to make sure that got scanned? Was it the picture, the deed, or everything?
Miller
Everything.
Reisz
Everything. Well alright. Any stories you'd like to share?
Miller
No. I can't think of any right now.
Reisz
Okay. Well, that's it. We just wanted to know a little bit about the items that you brought today and how you heard about us, and, ah, that's it. Nice and easy.
Miller
Okay.
Reisz
Thank you very much.
Miller
You're welcome.
Reisz
We really appreciate it.
