Dairy Farming in Floyd County: A Day in the Life of a Dairy Farmer
In this project Annclaire Livoti interviewed dairy farmers Hubert and Anita Quesenberry in Willis, Virginia. The Quesenberrys owned a dairy farm from the 1950s to the 1970s and during the interview talked about selling their milk to a milkman who would take it to a pant for processing, and about making butter, cheese, and cottage cheese for their own personal use. They also talked about putting the milk in cool water while waiting for the milkman to come pick up their product, which is probably different than how things are done today. The Quesenberrys related a factual summary of the day-to-day life of a dairy farm. This interview is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009.

Discovering an Appalachian Collective Unconscious: a look at traditional family beliefs as heirlooms of our ancestors
In the year 1999, much of America was obsessed with the idea that at 12:01AM on Jan 1, 2000 the entire computer network in the world would shut down. While talking to his grandmother, who was not worried about Y2K (the year 2000) situation, the idea of this project came to Michael Blankenship. She maintained that if the Y2K situation came to be, people like her would survive it nicely because they had lived without computers for many years and knew how to survive. In interviews, Vivial Blankenship spoke of growing up on a farm, selling farm products, grinding grain to make flour, milking cows, using a spring house for refrigeration, and much more from many years before computers. This is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009.
