In this project Robert Nash interviewed Paige Horst, of Radford Virginia about her experiences growing up in Radford, Virginia. Among other topics, she spoke of growing up in a university town in Appalachia. Ms. Horst has a unique perspective as an interviewee in this project because her parents both worked at Radford University, and she is currently employed by the university as Assistant Profesor in English Education. 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. Minimally contain collector’s introduction and analysis, transcribed informant interviews, and excerpted and labeled examples of oral, customary, and/or material folklore/folklife collected primarily within the Appalachian region. Most include also tables of contents, informant information, indexes (outlines) of interviews, photographs, miscellaneous paper items, and indexes of informants, genres, and geographic locations. Accompanying audio recordings (several minutes to 2+ hours). Transferred to McConnell Library Archives & Special Collections from Appalachian Regional and Rural Studies Center, Fall 2013.
