| Description: | The second of two interviews conducted with Superintendent Frank
O’Keefe by Casey Lynn and Monica Salas. The original interview,
which took place on November 8th, was not saved onto the ipod. Use of
the pause button may have contributed to the loss of the original
interview. This, the November 15th interview, focuses on Superintendent
O’Keefe’s work within the Sanitation Department as well as
his outside interests. Topics include his participation in the Emerald
Society, the Pipe and Drum Band, and the stand-up comedy circuit. Also
discussed are his reasons for joining the Sanitation Department, his
occupations before joining the Department, what he hopes will come from
a Sanitation Department Museum, and the “best parts” of the
life of a Sanitation worker. Notes taken during the first interview
helped shape and guide the second. Final recording time- 1:00:55. |
