Ceal Marron Memories

This project was a first for me! Never have I record an entire family interview! On Sunday, December 18 2010, the family of Ceal Maroon gathered for a family dinner. The interview was lead by Ceal's daughters and it was great to see the excitement and curiosity behind each and every questions.

Also everyone slowly and gradually gathered around the family room to listen to the stories.

Questions lead to answers that triggered more questions. Poor Ceal, she was submerged with requests to tell more and more stories, and after an hour, we all called it a day and the entire family enjoyed a delicious meal.
What a great day! I was so happy to be able to record Ceal Maroon's treasures of the past. Now they are alive, forever on DVD!


Update: Here is a testimonial of Maureen Maroon-Nelson, one of Ceal Maroons daughter's:
" The video turned out great! I couldn't stop watching it. You did a wonderful job as usual. I will let you know how many DVD's we will need. So far I will need 7 copies. I am waiting to hear from the rest of my family. I sent my family a message telling them that the video turned out beautiful and they could call either you or me if they wanted a copy. I will be in touch but for sure I will need 7 copies so far. I am going to be in Peoria on March 5th for the annual Down's Syndrome spaghetti dinner at the Itoo club on March 6th. So I will get ahold of you during that time to get the DVD's. Thanks so much for doing such a wonderful video of Mom. She looked so comfortable and relaxed for the majority of the time. You did so good...especially with my mom who does not like her picture taken at all !! "
