But he recovered, and the interview continued. But it had a big impact on me, about the way that memories can trigger not necessarily all the good things, but quite a lot of bad things, too. [Miriam helped with a project to document the arrival of hippies in Boulder, and she also interviewed people who worked at IBM.] [Geraldine Thomas] remembered that Boulder residents had been really incensed by the "invasion" of these hippies onto their territories. And this sounds so unlike Boulder, but she said that some of the residents had been distributing fliers which said: "Bring your pitchforks and shovels, and drive these hippies out!" …And then, on another level…was the arrival of IBM in 1965, in Boulder, because that of course marked another real milestone in the development of Boulder as a high-tech center. I did a few of the IBM interviews. One of the narrators was Dean Fogerty, who I think has done a lot of work with the library.

What Would You Change About the Library?
100
