Jan Kastberg oral history recording

Description

An audio recording of an oral history of Jan Katsberg on the Vietnam War. Jan Katsberg graduated from Hillsboro High School in 1966 and went on to college. Katsberg's twin brother enlisted in the National Guard and her husband was in the Navy, assigned to an aircraft carrier off the coast of Vietnam.
