Legends 31

LEGENDS IN PARKS AND RECREATION

Historically, the Legends Program has consisted of videotaped interviews of distinguished administrators and educators who have made outstanding contributions to the field of Parks and Recreation. The interviews record their personal background, professional insights, advice and philosophical beliefs. Each tape is approximately 45 minutes in length and is available in DVD format. Interviews are available for purchase for $10 each with a $5 shipping/ handling fee. A project has begun recently to edit the interviews down to a smaller size to be available for download and also to focus on specific topics. This will be ongoing. For more information, please contact Andee Chestnut at (217) 590-0231 or [email protected].
