Archives, Sibs, and Toss
from Keeping Dad Alive
Richard and Eunice left behind a 100 boxes’ worth of personal papers and family records. Margaret and her sister Kerry must dispose of it all. The sisters sequestered themselves for several weeks near the storage unit in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, as they sorted the papers. To get through it, they first dealt with the anger and frustration of being saddled with this burden, and then found ways to lighten the mood. In the end, “We deconstructed the family,” says Kerry. And they delivered their parent’s intellectual work to its final resting place. The music in this episode is by Blue Dot Sessions.
