Greetings
The Western Railway Museum at Rio Vista has a program
of interviewing their older members on tape.  I attended
a one day seminar out there on how to make the interview.

This might be a project for Arden...at least for Arden
to be the depository of the tapes.   It can be done by
telephone and mail.
