Summary
Exhibit. Traveling exhibit of photos and oral history text panels based on a series of interviews with Linda J. Lord in which she talks about the work she did for 20 years at Penobscot Poultry, her feelings about being unemployed after Penobscot closed and general conversations about her life in Maine. The exhibit traveled in 1988-1989 to East Millinocket, Orono, Machias, Portland, and Augusta, with panels, presentations, and forums occurring at each opening. Speakers and panelists included Jay Davis, Bernard Lewis, Dr. Richard Barringer, Dr. Paula Petrik and Carolyn Chute. Primary researchers were Cedric Chatterly and Stephen Cole.
This project was funded by four grants totaling $8,942 from the Maine Humanities Council in 1989 and 1990. A book based on the exhibit received $5,000 from the Maine Humanities Council in 1990: I was Content and Not Content: The Story of Linda Lord and the Closing of Penobscot Poultry. Carbondale and Edwardsville: Southern Illinois University Press, 2000.
