EK: And could you talk a little bit more about your responsibilities and what maybe a typical day was like?

PD: Well, when the redress program started, we were getting so many correspondence, so many letters and things coming in. So with that, our typical day would just be opening the correspondences, reading some of the letters coming in, and actually inputting that information into a data entry system.

EK: And did that evolve over time?

PD: I would say yes, because at the beginning, the program, of course, a lot of the constituents didn't have a clue or know what was going on. And as the word got out, then more people were writing in, and it was getting more known to everybody what was going on.

EK: And who did you work most closely with on a daily basis?

PD: I worked with Joanne Chiedi, I did work with her a lot, I worked with you, if I can say that, I worked with you. Angela Gant, Aaron Zajic, Anita Childs, she was another data entry technician, so me and her worked closely together.
