Alicia, You may want to take a look at my thesis, which is called "Communicating In First-Person: Perspectives on Interpreter-Visitor Interaction." I am currently updating and expanding the work for publication. If you cannot find it via interlibrary loan, I can loan you a copy of it. Many thanks to Ken Yellis for mentioning it. I have been off doing living history programs this week and have not had a chance to read through the Museum-L messages until today. BTW, Ken's "Real Time" article was the inspiration for my thesis. Alicia, you can contact me at the following address, or call... Stacy Roth / [log in to unmask] History On The Hoof P.O. Box 383 Langhorne, PA 19047 (215) 943-1232
