Evelyn Smith's Voices of Old Strathcona interview is the subject of today's episode. Smith, a nurse, describes her time working in and around the University. Smith also describes transportation innovations, including the shift from the street-car to individual automobile usage.
These interviews were recorded in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Both social attitudes and language standards have changed since that time. Some opinions expressed and language used may be offensive to listeners today.
