- Summary
-
This interview delves into the life of Maureen Patton who at the time of interview had been Executive Director of the Galveston Opera House for 25 years. The interview describes the history of the theater and how concerned citizens of Galveston mobilized to preserve it so that today it has attained national recognition as a historical site. Also included are several interesting anecdotes that most historical accounts have not previously recorded. The tone of familiarity between the interviewer and the Mrs. Patton is based upon the fact that her husband, Larry Patton, and the interviewer were friends in college at Trinity University. Interviewer: Ernesto Valdés.
