1955 Thanksgiving

1955 Thanksgiving Round Robin Introduction Recording

Summary:
On the occasion of Thanksgiving (and appears perhaps to be an extension of the 55th wedding anniversary event) Grandpa hopes the recording could be a “chain” tape, like a letter that gets sent around.

There are some fun entries along the way where Joan interviews Helen and Isaac High and Dad/Doug explains why he wasn’t at the the 55th anniversary event.

Should anyone be able to add additional context and correct/confirm attendees, please let me know.

Date: Nov. 19, 1955 + add ons to tape.
