Presswood/Potter Reunion 2007
Today was the annual Presswood/Potter family reunion. I don’t remember when the tradition started. We’ve been having these reunions every year ever since I can remember. I’m sure they were happening before I was born. A long time ago when I was much younger these reunions would take place at Charles’ house, my Mamaw Ruby’s brother. The reunions are now held at the church out the road from my house.
I tried to record some of the stories that people were telling. I’m going to start recording more things like this when I get the opportunity to, hopefully more audio with the iRiver, too. Lately, I feel this need to archive everything so that when I’m old and gray I’ll have things to look back on. I feel as though my generation has access to all sorts of technology that the older generation did not have access to. I think I should put it to use and record history.
Speaking of recording history. If you’d like to see the photos from this event you can look at them here.

After having gone nearly a week without soda, seeing all those glistening Coke cans wasn’t easy! And if you’re looking for a good mic for remote recording with the iRiver, check out Giant Squid. I’ve got one of their stereo “podcaster” mic’s, and it’s pretty good.
