| 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. |
