Mr. Carriveau: I’m an oral historian for the People of Rural Wisconsin (and the first G.M. of the Madison Muskies and former Pres. of Capital Brewery) My organization is working on what we hope will be a fairly comprehensive set of stories about rural Wis. Baseball is high among the topics we’d like to interview on. Would you be willing to talk on the phone or better yet, in person? I’m in Madison and my office phone is 608.514.1496. I am also the author of Creating Dairyland published by the State Historical Society Press.
Hope I’ve interested you in a chat. Cheers, ed janus
