FROM THE EDITOR
From the Spring-Summer
2007 issue of Voices:
The breadth of
articles in this issue
is extraordinary,
ranging from
a description of a
college-town theater’s
culture, to an
academic legend
cycle, an intern
program for inner-city youth, the story
of “this crazy American jumping” (basketball),
and the use of personal narratives
in Smithsonian Institution folklife
festivals.
In this issue we are pleased to introduce
a new column by Eileen Condon.
“In Praise of Women” will focus on the
work of women in folklore and folk arts
in New York State. Eileen’s first column
highlights the work of Vaughn Ramsey
Ward (1939-2001), one of a number of
women nominated last summer by those responding to a NYfolk-list query asking
folklorists to identify women whose
unique contributions to the field had
inspired others. Subsequent columns will
introduce the nominees, incorporating
the praises offered by colleagues. This
issue’s profile of Vaughn is based on a
December 2006 interview with her husband
and colleague, George Ward.
“The Story of My Dolls,” which documents
the life and needlework of Alberta
Nell Romano, represents the first
contribution to a new regular feature,
“Artist Profile.” We hope that readers
will send us profiles, so that Voices can
continue to recognize the work of the
many talented folk artists and citizens
of New York State.
Please continue to keep us in mind for
your research, your reports, your stories,
and your poems. Our journal is only as
good as the writing you submit to us.
