Comments
At minute 28:38 there is a break in the recording while the original tape changed from Side A to B.
The original interview on audio cassette tape was converted to digital media by a professional conservator in 2010, but the sound quality still varies throughout.
Activate the audio recording in the embedded player below.
A picture of Dr. Shanks is also linked below, and the transcript may be downloaded at the right.
