Abstract

Interview with Oconee County resident Margret Foster conducted in September 2014. She was born in 1927 in Bishop, Georgia, and grew up there. She moved to Athens in 2010 for medical reasons. She appreciated how she grew up because her family house, which still stands, served as a community hub for children to play in, even while everyone was poor. She has seen Oconee change in terms of road construction, traffic, and federal food administration. She worked for 46 years with jewelry alongside her brother.
