- Description:
- Charlie Wetzell was a textile manager and yarn salesman at the Stowe Mill in Belmont, N.C., and later worked for either a historical society or historic site in Gastonia, N.C. Elaine Pruitt is a Winston-Salem, N.C. history teacher and an assistant researcher on the film. Roger Moore was a reporter for the Winston-Salem Journal. Bill Pruitt was the son of a mill worker.
Charlie Wetzel talks about his role in the mill and shows the filmmakers various historic artifacts that came from or were associated with the mills and mill life. Elaine Pruitt talks with George Stoney about potential research for the film (names, places, etc.). Roger Moore talks with Stoney about the process of making the documentary and what Stoney hopes to accomplish through making the film. Bill Pruitt's dialogue is minor and his role in this video is unclear. - Local Identifier:
