Title
Mike Huffsmith and brother oral history recording
Description
An audio recording of an oral history of Mike Huffsmith and his brother about the old Albina district of Portland, Oregon. A woman is on the recording as well, possibly Mike Huffsmith's wife. The Huffsmith brothers explain how they lived in an area with many different settlements of ethnicities; Jewish, German, Italian and Russian. Growing up in the heart of the city they were about to use streetcars to get to most places, including their father's work. There was a conversation about the building of Swan Island Airport in 1927, following a discussion about a disaster involving Swan Island in the 1920’s or 1930’s. There was a phone interruption at 16:40 and recording cutting out at 31:10 and 47:00.
