Today i was invited by Dick Kohler, to attended the Washington County Historical Society's monthly The society consists of people in the community who maintain historical sites for county and/or are local historian. During the meeting, i was able to speak with the committee members about the Silver Reef TV Project. They were very receptive of it and are willing to help out as much as possible.
After the meeting, I was given then names of 10 people the society considered experts on the Folklore and History of Silver Reef. I was also told about an interview Dixie State University filmed of a Archeologist Professor at Penn who has studied Silver Reef for over 30 year, and has performed numerous digs in Silver Reef. That interview plus Karen's gives me 12 interviews I will have to choose from for our one hour show...
This was by far my biggest worry so far. I was afraid i was not going to have enough variety in my interviewees. I have watched historical documentary before where they only interview two or three experts. Then use multiple clips the same people... I didn't want this show to be like that. I believe that variety will not only substantiate the folklore, but move the show along at a much faster pace.

This month has been AWESOME: we were able to
- get approval for the TV show,
- lock down the topics,
- create a list of potential interviewees
- gain access to all pictures, papers, documents and oral interviews collected by the WCHS and affiliated resources.
Goal for February:
- Schedule and film all interviews
- begin using the interviews to piece together a working story line for the Show
- Begin collecting
- Music
- Sound effects
- B-roll
- VO material.
