Description
In this series of interviews by Odd Lovoll for his books “The Promise of America: History of the Norwegian-American People” and “The Promise Fulfilled: A Portrait of Norwegian Americans Today,” Lovoll interviews Roger Moe. This is only a portion of Odd Lovoll’s interview with then-Senator Roger Moe. In this fragment, they discuss Roger’s views on education, particularly higher education and technical school, as well as his thoughts on immigration, welfare, and the value of being Norwegian-American. They take a brief detour into discussing the 1994 Winter Olympics. This is clearly only a part of a larger interview, and the missing earlier portions are referenced throughout. The earlier tape may have been lost, or else the tape may have been corrupted and unsalvageable.
