Questions and Advice
If both members of a couple are still alive, I interview one person and cover their family history, childhood and
career/military. Then I interview the other person individually covering the same topics. Then I bring the couple together
and ask about their courtship, marriage, children and several interesting miscellaneous questions.
As a note
– the voice of the interviewer will be on the video. When people respond to questions, they don't speak in perfect
sound bytes so the interviewer's questions are necessary to understand the context of what the subject is saying.

Services:
- More time than two hours of interview time (or three hours for a couple).

DVD copies (2 will be supplied).
