Abstract

Bill and Jeanette Maxey sit with Cassie Kotrch at Heritage Hall to share their findings and work of transcribing Bill's mother Bernice's diary and heritage. They share her story and some of her memories of her time as a student at what was then Western Normal, including being called onto the carpet of Dwight B. Waldo's office to be chastised for missing class.
