"Cultivating Radical Gratitude" with Barbara Ford 

Barbara Ford and Earl Harris live in a location in the South End that is known as Gold Mine Hollow. Barbara is 81 and has lived in the South End all of her life. She was married to “Blacky” Earl Ford for over 50 years and they had to children together, Bruce and Brian. Earl, Barbara’s nephew, has been married to Dag Mar Harris for 16 years and has a daughter named Elise that lives in Kentucky. Earl served in the Navy, lived for a short time in WV and has lived off and on in the South End for a total of 60 years (Bartoshuk, Blake, Cook, Gunn, Schratz and Stark, 2013).---The South End of Newark, Ohio is an area that is literally and figuratively made up of side streets. The South End is comprised of three district areas that border the south side of the main square of town.  It is home to a variety of people, churches, and community organizations that have deep emotional ties in the area. Several families have lived in the South End for generations. Newark itself is a town not unlike many towns that are struggling financially across the United States. It has a rich history, was once bustling with commerce and community involvement, and has been significantly impacted by outsourcing, downsizing and suburban sprawl.  The South End has been directly impacted by the closing of schools, stores and industries such as the railroad and the Heisey Glass Company. Where once it was a thriving community and as one participant noted, “complete,” the South End now experiences: high unemployment, low levels of academic achievement beyond high school with dropout rates of around 27%, a population of around 44% renters, and an average income of 35,000.00 for a family of four (Gunn 2103).These podcasts were produced by students enrolled in Professor Anne Crowley's “Technology &amp; Learning” course in collaboration with students in Dr. Amanda M. Gunn’s “Communication and Culture” senior seminar.  Many thanks to the South Newark community members who shared their recollections, hopes and dreams:  Skip Shoemaker, Norma Francis, Desiree Blake, Mattie Blake, Mattie Blake, Bryan Anderson, Barbara Ford, Earl Harris, Shirley &amp; Wayne Campbell, Betty  Meyer, Paula Hatfield, Judy Sayre, Dee Hall, Anne Reese, Judy Davis, Mary &amp; Ginny Grady, Rodney Cook, Amanda Vozzella, Renee Chalfont, Glenn Hopkins, James Durant, Thelma McFarlane, Anna Lou Jones, Sharon Oliver, Deb Crane and the Hupp family.
