An Interview with Grace McEachern

Join David Leonard and Grace McEachern in their October 9, 1978 interview. McEachern discusses her time on her family's farm as well as her experience working as a teacher in the Edmonton area. McEachern's perspective is particularly interesting as she was the first teacher in the Oliver area, which was the first school in the Ellerslie district. This interview was originally recorded on a 5 inch open reel tape and was digitized by an archivist on August 28th, 2020.Additional Sources:MS-37 - Grace Martin McEachern fondshttps://cityarchives.edmonton.ca/grace-martin-mceachern-fondsThese interviews were recorded in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.
