Comments
Larry Keeter
Almost forgot I did this interview. Wish I had talked about my involvement in ASU's off-campus sites in NYC and DC. Did over 50 ASU students programs at NY Loft and over 30 in DC. I'm told that's more than any other single faculty member. Willing to do it if useful for Archives.
PS The sound on this site has a very low volume, hard to hear it.
