Athens StoryCorps: Martha Sweeney and Karen Gerow

Martha Sweeney grew up in a big family in Ireland and had some interesting experiences there. Here, her daughter, Karen Gerow, asks Martha to re-tell some of her stories and they talk about a special family gift. StoryCorps Athens stories were recorded in Fall 2018 in the StoryCorps Mobile Booth at the Athens-Clarke County Library. These interviews were recorded as part of a national initiative to record and collect the stories of everyday people.
