Wed Jun 29 00:09:56 UTC 2011

Dr.  Jernigan gave many more than two speeches.  What two 
speeches do you speak of?

Hi Michael, may be Ed can digitise the tapes.

There is nothing wrong with Ralph Sander's 1978 Banquet address.

Both of Dr.  Jernigan's speeches are classic important speeches.
Let us see what Ed can do with them.

  Ken,
  Let me try to get caught up with all this.  Neither of my 
talking book tape players are working so I have no use for the 
tapes.  Perhaps I will give them to Ed and they can do a better 
job digitizing them than I can.  And, to be clear, I never 
presented them to the national office.  I did not understand that 
is what you wanted me to do with them.  And at the time I was 
focusing only on the banquet address which the national office 
does not want to post on the website.  I think it would be very 
appropriate for the JTL to include it in their collection.  As 
for the other recordings I think they should be up on line.  
Surely they can do a better job of digitizing them than I did.  
The Teamsters speech was great and of great importance 
historically.  And I have no idea why Why I Am a Federationist is 
not already on the website.  It's classic Federation literature.
  Looking forward to seeing you all in Orlando.
  Michael

      Ken-

      Let me clarify.  We do want to have the recordings in our 
audiovisual archives.  Whether the national leadership wishes to 
make them available through NFB.org is another question.

      Thanks

      With Federationist greetings,,

      Hi Michael, go ahead and keep the tapes.

      When I listen to them, the quality is very good.

      I don't understand why the National Office wasn't 
interested in them.

      I hope the tapes were the originals.

      Yes I will be at convention in Orlando, Florida.

      See you then.

        Kenneth,
        You sent those tapes to me.  I've done a little research 
on the subject to refresh my memory and found the original thread 
that led to you sending me the tapes.  There was an interest in 
hearing the 1978 Banquet address by Ralph Sanders.  You stated 
you had a record of it and told anyone who wanted it to contact 
you.  You then posted the following:
        "Hi Ryan, I just put my 12 inch record on to a cassette 
tape, and I will send it to Michael Freholm either tomorrow or 
Monday.
        The second side of that record is where Kenneth Jernigan 
addressed The Brotherhood of Teamsters on August 15, 1978.
        I used a small Cassette Recorder, and a Talkingbook 
Record player.
        I also recorded Why I am a Federationist and Disability 
and Visibility By Kenneth Jernigan.
        I believe both speeches were done in 1974.
        Ken Chrane "
        I made a digital recording of the Banquet Address and the 
speech to the Teamsters and, if memory serves, I sent a copy to 
RyanO.  My main interst was of the Banquet speech.  I just wanted 
to hear it and so did others but the National Office is in no way 
interested in putting this on the website and, thus, we will not 
be putting this up on a Living History website.  And even if we 
were, the sound quality is not very good.  I made a digital 
recording of a tape recording of a 12 inch record.  The 
recordings are not of the quality to be put up on the national 
website.  As for the other two Jernigan speeches, the quality 
wasn't good enough.  Perhaps the national office could do a 
better job in making a digital copy than I.
        I still have the tapes you sent me Ken and will bring 
them to Orlando and return them to you.  if you are going to be 
there.  I apologize for any misunderstanding concerning the final 
destination of these recordings.  I was interested in possibly 
putting them up on the living history website once it's up and 
running but do not recall saying I would get them put up on the 
national website.  My apologizes again for any misunderstanding.
        Best, Michael

        Three years ago, I sent some recordings to someone else 
titled, "Why I am a Federationist," By Kenneth Jernigan.

        Have my recordings been posted on the NFB Web Site?

          Thanks for posting this Tina and thanks to all those 
who responded.  I was planning on posting the same question 
tomorrow but you beat me to it.  I was also hoping to announce 
some other stuff but I don't have confirmation yet....  
Nevertheless, it's important that we don't duplicate recordings 
(not that it will really hurt anything but it would be a waste of 
resources.) and we need to make sure that important things get 
recorded.  If anyone has any suggestions in this matter please 
post them to the list.
          The Living History meeting is scheduled for Sunday June 
3 from 7 to 8:30.  Hope to see you all there!
          Have a safe trip,
          Michael Freholm

          This list has been almost dead over the past several 
months, so I thought I'd get things rolling by asking what people 
plan to record for archive during the convention.  I will be 
doing the Membership committee meeting, as well as the Newsletter 
and Publications committee.  They're on separate nights this 
year, which is a first.  Other than that, I'm wide open.

          I also plan to do the Living History group meeting this 
year, as usual.

          I'm sure this has been brought up before, but what good 
is it when people record all this stuff, but it only reaches the 
one who does the recordings and no one else? I'd like to get us 
thinking seriously about establishing a web site where this great 
stuff can be distributed.

          Whatever you do, bring your mp3 players and voice 
recorders with you to Orlando, so we can add to our already rich 
collection.  Let's all try to contribute something this year.  
Thanks.
