This Monday, my Great Aunt, Maxine Strohl Wasserman, passed away. She was oldest daughter of the amusement park proprietor Karl Strohl. Her legacy will forever be intertwined with the vibrant history of the Nay Aug Amusement Park. May her memory be a blessing.

Does anyone have a map or anything displaying the exact location where the amusement park used to be? The deeds office and other offices in the local government are refusing to give me information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Would y'all be interested in me doing a live reading of my paper about the park? I am in the works of trying to figure out what to do next with the actual paper and I wanted to ensure that the paper was fully accessible to the amazing community of people that have been here with me since the start.

Due to some technical difficulties, I am having to redo all of the interviews I did last summer. All of the new interviews will be taking place via go-to-meeting. If you were interviewed last year I would appreciate if you signed up to be interviewed again. If you were unable to be interviewed during the last round I would love if you signed up this time around. I am including the link for my sign up sheet. THESE INTERVIEWS WILL BE RECORDED.

If the existing slots fill I will add additional ones.

Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you! In the comment section please indicate whether this is your first time being interviewed for this project or if you are redoing an interview.
