StoryTelling America

Everyone has a story to tell, not just individuals, couples, and families.
Large, well-established organizations have many important stories to
convey-how they began, how they learned from their failures, how they
enjoyed their successes, and how they built, sustained, and served
communities. Their stories provide a lasting legacy that will benefit future
generations.

In 2003, Student Loan Finance Corporation of Aberdeen, South Dakota decided
that an Oral History Documentary was the best way to celebrate its first 25
years in business. Over 40 of the original founders, employees, board
members, participating banks, and businesses sat down to reflect upon their
beginnings, their adaptations to changing markets, and the many values that
led to and sustained their success.
