About this piece: ​Dedicated to my mother, Eleanor. Gentle, loving and thoughtful.

An Interview with Eleanor

My mother, Eleanor Abbott, lived from August 1, 1919 - October 28, 1999. On August 3, 1999 (two days after her 80th birthday) we sat down together to talk a little about her life and some of her memories. I learned a few things! The recording of our 23-minute conversation is below. ​
Our family portrait (circa 1957). My parents, John & Eleanor Abbott, and their four sons. My brothers and I in order of age: John, Jr. (2nd row, far right); Arnold (2nd row, 2nd from right); Dennis (2nd row, far left); yours truly, Bruce (1st row with hand on Eleanor's shoulder).
