Interviewer Bio:
Arrow Zelasnic

I was born in Scranton, Pennsyvania and currently live in New York City. My interest in oral history has been growing for a few years but until Oral History Summer School, I never acted on it. I am happy to work on building an Archive of voices of Hudson Residents in the 21st Century; providing living evidence and wisdom of those who are here to those who will honor them in the future.
