99. Not Too Long Ago (1999)
Seniors Tell Their Stories
Authors: Garry Cranford
This document includes more than sixty stories from seniors living in all regions of Newfoundland and Labrador. Collected primarily through taped interviews, the stories have been edited as little as possible in order to retain the individual voice of each contributor.
Some of the stories are personal reminiscences, like one man’s account of life as a coal miner or an Englishwoman’s experiences as an outport nurse. Others refer to historical events, like the tsunami that struck Newfoundland’s Burin Peninsula in 1929.
The collection is aimed at seniors who are trying to improve their literacy skills.

100. O Public Road...You Express Me Better Than I Can Express Myself (1996)
Series: Wayfaring Journeys in Language, Learning and Culture
Authors: Francis E. Kazemek
O Public Road... You Express Me Better
Than I Can Express Myself by Francis E. Kazemek is a story in the book Wayfering Journeys in Language, Learning and Culture, it is a collection of writings by ABE instructors and students in Newfoundland brought together for a ‘language awareness project', designed to explore attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge about language and the teaching of language.
"Even in the book's earliest stages, the concept of wayfaring, travelling close to the ground, was prominent as a metaphor for the literacy we need inside classrooms, and inside ourselves."
This is also a useful contribution to the literature of practitioner research and inquiry.
