My name is Gabe Gentry and I am the Producer heading up AETN's World War II Oral History Project, In Their Words. For two years now I have been traveling the state with the creator of the project, Harold Steelman, collecting the testimonies of Arkansas's World War II Generation. Now it is time to begin sharing those stories with all of you.

The web site is a work in progress. In the coming months our oral history archive will continue to grow and change. So will this blog. It is here that I will be sharing humorous and poignant stories from the road as well as details regarding updates to the site.

Thank you for your interest in the project.
