R.I.P, Studs

Studs Terkel, the father of oral histories, left us with thousands of personal accounts of "life of the common folk" when he passed away on Friday. He had inspired me and others (like NPR and its Story Corps) to follow in his footsteps in collecting recorded glimpses of everyday life. An oral time capsule, created by just taking the time to listen.
