On this episode, join David Leonard on October 25th, 1978 for his interview of Eva McKitrick. McKitrick, a long-time resident of Edmonton, discusses her time as a teacher and her role as a member of the Edmonton Historical Board.

Eva McKitrick is very soft-spoken in this interview. We have tried to amplify it as best we can, but headphones are highly recommended as the audio signal dips in and out.
