For the PAEA’s 30th Anniversary in 2002, the PA History Society arranged video recorded interviews with Thomas Piemme (second president), Suzanne Greenberg (first secretary/treasurer) and Don Fisher (first executive director). This was one of the first projects of the Society as 2002 is the year we were founded! The Society also hosted a panel discussion with the three, moderated by Society co-founders Reg Carter and Jeff Heinrich. To watch the interviews and the panel discussion, please see the links below.
