StoryCorps in SLC: Photos from Opening Day

With the help of local NPR affiliate KCPW and its StoryCorps sponsors (including Calanan Photography) the StoryCorps in SLC team kicked off their 6-week stay with a recording of local businessman/celebrity Ken Sanders and his interviewer, Scott Carrier:

A crowd (including a class on a field trip from Realms of Inquiry) gathered to hear speeches from KCPW's Ed Sweeney:

Great photos Mike!

I love the photo of Ken. I can't tell you how many times I went to Cosmic Airplane in the 80s during high school.
