            <p> The project was based at the College's Pine Lake campus with Pine Lake Director Bob Doyle as supervisor.  From January 1978 through March 1979, Margaret Stumpf, Tom Buckner and 30 students interviewed senior citizens throughout the county recording folklore about hunting bobcats and panthers, ice fishing, home and herbal remedies, quilt making, song and dance, old-time recipes, doctors, acid factories, bathtub whiskey, and personal histories.  In addition to the rich stories, the collection also offers excellent examples of local speech patterns. 

	The collection is composed of 62 tapes and accompanying transcripts which are arranged by town and cross-referenced by topic and interviewee.  The entire collection has been annotated and coded by topic for easy retrieval of information.
