Have you ever done any oral histories of people who work in industries connected to the river? What was your most memorable interview? Did you hear any songs or poems in the interviews?

Towboat deckhand, fleet work.

Awesome! I'll check those interviews out. Thanks for helping make our work out there more visible- a lot of people don't know what we do.

As a Minnesota river deckhand, I hate to tell you that the "raft from Itasca to New Orleans on a trash raft" is a semi-yearly occurrence, with some brave new through-boater paddling uneasily through Saint Paul every year.
