Unpublished Interview w/Dwayne Charron

[son-of-a-gun-designer]

For those of you have been waiting, I have uploaded my father's interview to Rumble.com. You can view it at the link below. It takes a while to upload so I will put it on YouTube later. Rumble is free of charge and you don't need an account to listen to the interview. I must admit, as I edited the tape, it was a little spooky hearing my father talk as if we were having a conversation -- sure do miss him! Please let me know of any issues with the interview file or the link below.

Thanks, Dean Charron

Must be my old computer/operating system, because the link takes me to the page but unfortunately, the video won't play/load.

Curiously, some of the other videos on the page open and play, but it seems to be the shorter videos that work.

On the videos that don't work for me (like your Dad's) when I click on the "Play" arrow, the trace bar opens on the bottom of the page, but does not advance and displays "NaN:NaN" after the elapsed timer (0:00).

I'm on Chrome and running Windows XP Professional.

(I know, right? I'm WAY behind.)

I'll try on a newer (but still old) computer.

Thanks!

John

OH MY GOSH!!!

Thanks sooo much, Dean!

The youtube link worked great.

My attention tends to drift during long recorded conversations, but I hung on every word.

My only regret was that it ended too soon.

Were it 10 hours long, I would have been writing this at midnight tonight.

GOLD! PURE GOLD!

No.

PRICELESS!!!

Your Dad said he had hundreds of stories.

Sadly, these were just a precious few.

Thanks again for sharing this.

John

P.S. If your Dad relayed any of those hundreds of stories to you, (and I've no doubt he did) and you can recall any, and are willing to share them here, please log-in and post a nugget or two for us. Thanx!

While poking around the site, I found this thread. The interview is probably interesting to many of us, so I'm bumping the thread in case you didn't see it earlier. Note that the Youtube link mentioned above doesn't work anymore. However, the Rumble link does:
