Comments: This tape has not been reviewed. SG makes reference to Strike of 1912. See also, V94-83 a,b,&c.
Summary: This is an excellent tape because of her family's long standing involvement with the mills at management level, though her father was an accountant. She recounts several incidents relating to the strike from the citizens' point of view, not the striker's point of view. Her description of the "Parker House", corner of Lawrence and Haverhill Streets, is from first hand knowledge because a Barker lived there. Her education and professional life are interesting in terms of the place and era she lived in.
This was a Shifting Gears Tape with no assigned No. See also, 107 and 489. Also note: Tape starts at counter no. 62
