#3 Ask Somebody (Field Analysis Blog, Bundle 1)

             For my first research analysis blog I am supposed to ask somebody and get some personal input from others about my topic. My mom has lived in Stow all her life so I decided to ask her about the Delaney Project and how long it's been there and what not. I asked her if it was around when she was a kid and she said of course "I'm not 100, I'm only 50!". I also asked her if she ever went there and if people were still doing the same outdoor recreational activities she said yes things were still the same forty years later and nothing has changed. I asked her about the history and if she knew any of it, not surprising to me she didn't know any of the history behind the Delaney Project. In turn, I told her all of the history I had found out about the Delaney Project. She was intrigued with the fact that the little Delaney pond right near our house used to house not only one, but two different mills!

 The day I went to the park there wasn't really many people around to ask so I thought interviewing my mom about it was just as good because she has lived near the project her whole life. I didn't learn too much from my mom that I didn't already know but it was a good chance to share my knowledge about the Delaney project with her. So even if I didn't learn anything new I'm glad that I taught someone else something new. Overall, no one seems to know too much about the Delaney project (my dad has lived here his whole life too and didn't know anything). And there isn't even that much on the internet about the Delaney project. I think it would be really cool to further investigate the Delaney Project and see if anything else interesting occurred there.
