"I get to be on digits!"
This was Sister Mary's reaction when I pulled out my digital recorder for our interview earlier in the week. And yes, she was trying to refer to my digital recorder.
Always fascinated with the changing world around her, Mary was excited to be recorded on the modern version of a tape recorder.
I have a feeling I am going to enjoy getting to know her! For our next feature writing assignment, we have to write a profile story. I decided to use some of my connections from high school and interview a Sister. Attending a private Catholic high school can have its perks!
From our brief meeting for lunch this past Sunday, I could still gather some important facts about her. Mary seems to be the kind of person that wouldn't think twice about helping someone - anyone - with whatever they needed. And she hasn't thought twice about the life she has been leading for 65 years.
I have some ideas as the direction of the story, but it won't be until a few other interviews with her and other sources will I be able to put many pieces together.
Stay tuned for some updates!
