- Description
- en Claire Bouffard Chase, born in Winooski, Vt. and of French-Canadian descent, talks about her family, in particular her grandmother, mother and father, and the World War II experiences of her brother, Clem. She relates stories she heard as a child, talks about being raised to be self-sufficient and discusses her father's life philosophy. Most interesting are her stories about a healing tradition in the family that borders on the mysterious and mystical, where certain family members could take away pain (and Claire's warts) by the power of suggestion, and how this tradition was passed on in a very strict code of secrecy. Kim Chase conducts the interview.
