That'd be great. I'm excited, as this is my first solo, and I'd love to have an experienced LVer as DPL. Taking it slow with this short work for my first outing.

Thanks, Amy. I PL a lot of stuff so I had a workflow password, but with my first solo it didn't occur to me that I'm my own BC! Remember that song "I'm My Own Grandpa"? :lol:

Got it done.

A note on pronunciation: I grew up in Wisconsin and already knew most of the tribe, place and personal names here. A couple of others I did research on.

What I wanted to mention is that Wisconsinites are not always consistent in when we Anglicize French names or keep them closer to the original. For example, we pronounce Nicolet with the last syllable as "let," but Joliet is "Zholi-ay." I pronounced things like I grew up hearing them.

In one case, I put in a reader's note and spelled the words. "Sioux" and "Sault" are pronounced the same. This would have led to some confusion, especially in the sentence that contains "...were compelled by the Sioux to move back to the Sault."

Let me know if you have any concerns.
thanks,
Verla

This kind of reader's note is acceptable. Another option is to add a note in the project summary instead, so as not to disrupt the flow of the reading, but probably the note is more useful in that exact place in the recording.

Note that your filename is missing the _128kb part. MC Amy will let you know if you need to fix or not.
