Voices from the Past

These interviews below were conducted in 1985 by Katrina Elsken. Keitha Daniels converted the interviews from cassette tape to digital format. We thank them both for permission to use these interviews. We would like to give a special thank you to Theresa Proverbs and Matt Rentz for working together to bring these voices to life once again. Special thank you to Audio Engineer, Kyle Neves, St VII Studio LLC and Adam Thomas, Small Universe for assisting with the project. Our team has done its best to present authentic sounds. However, as reproductions of original audio recordings, some audio clips may not be as clear as others. This project was part of our original Downtown LaBelle Historic Self-Guided Walking Tour and was sponsored in part by the Department of State, Division of Historical Resources and the State of Florida.
