StoryCorps in New Hampshire

Listening In: A StoryCorps in Berlin Special
Interviews at the StoryCorps Mobile Booth begin with a question, but the exciting part is the answer. Because, whether it’s from someone we know and love, or from someone we’ve just met, the answer tells us something we didn’t know.

NHPR brought the Mobile Booth to Berlin in summer 2009. We’ll listen in to a few interviews based loosely on the theme of commitment.

summer 2009

Tess George
"I said, 'I want you to know that it’s OK with me if you need to go.' So she said, 'I don’t ever want you to think of me as a quitter.'"
Nashua’s Tess George stopped by the StoryCorps Mobile booth last June with her friend Sandy Bothmer. Tess’s mother was confined to her bed in the final months of her life, and Tess provided care during that time. Tess remembers the months being fraught with meaning.

Suzanne and Alan Moberly
"I was working as a rural carrier...when there had been a mis-delivery of a special delivery letter. That’s when our lives began to intersect once again..."
Suzanne and Alan Moberly of Littleton, New Hampshire recall their early relationship as professor and student, the obstacles that kept them apart, and the chance encounter that, years later, brought them together.

Sr. Monique Terriault
"My sister was the first, after graduating high school, to enter the Sisters of Mercy. And I guess I must have really liked what I saw, because I followed 14 months later."
Berlin's Sister Monique Terriault stopped by the mobile booth this month with her friend, Catherine McDowell, to discuss her experiences with the Sisters of Mercy.
