Circle of Elders

Pat Perreault of Port Townsend Television is editing her latest project at the WSU learning center. Pat is working on a six part documentary series entitled "Circle of Elders" which will consist of six half hour stories.


Each segment will feature a different guest speaker ranging in age from 75 - 91 years. These people give moving accounts of history as they lived it, and describe how these events changed their lives.


A long time advocate of the environment and human rights, Pat has a history of giving her community a voice and understands the importance of documenting this information. These first hand narrations give us a version of history that we never may otherwise see. They share how their lives and the way they they lived them were forever changed. The first two shows to air will showcase Grace Chawes and Jerry Chawes.
