What is the premise of the “Family History” episode and who introduces it?
Hey everyone, it's Trevor Henderson, artist and creator of Mayfair Watcher Society. Thanks for returning to Mayfair for season three. Up next, a short ad break and then this week's episode.
Another murder today in the town may sound mysterious with
just your word. Hello, my little We we are the watchers, observers being strange, power, even occult. Spiritual, the mystical, and magical. Into the horrifying, into the harmless secrets. The unseen world. The unfair world. Appalling and gruesome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to the May Bear Watch. I think it should be good Hello me from the future I hope you like editing cause you're gonna be there a while. How long do you anticipate you'll be filming? Uh a couple hours, probably. I booked the room until two o'clock. If no one else wants it after that, can I book it again? I can't see why not. Thanks. Have you seen Mrs. Jean? Oh, I I don't think she's in today. Oh. May I ask why? Oh, she's been helping me with the research side of the project at finding newspaper articles and stuff.
She said she'd come in when we were doing the interviews to help out, but Ah, I see. Eh tell you what, I'm not doing anything particular today. I'm happy to assist if you need. I may not be a historian of her caliber, but I know my way around the microfiche. Yeah, actually that would be awesome. Thank you. It's my pleasure. Would you mind walking me through the project? Uh sure. I'm doing a local history thing for my senior project. My family's been in Mayfair for generations and I've always been interested in that kind of stuff, so I figured it would be a great excuse to dig in. I see. So you're doing genealogical research. n no more um biographical, I guess. I decided I would do a short documentary on Mayfair's industry.
Oral history, kind of thing. Then I could show it at the historical society. I asked them about it and they said they'd do a screening. How exciting. I hope so, and I hope the judging committee thinks so. No, I think they will. Local history with a creative component. That's gotta win you some points. Uh thanks. The lady at the Historical Society gave me the names of some of the people who worked at the car plant back in the day who were willing to talk about it. But I didn't have all the studio space and my stepbrothers are two and five, so home wasn't gonna work. Way too much noise. And that's why I'm here. Oh hey Am I in the right place? Waited at the desk, but there wasn't anyone there and uh That light was off, uh
The bulb needs replacing. Oh sorry about that. Mr D was saying they're a little short staffed today. I'm glad you found us. Yes, we've had a few staff members quit unexpectedly recently. Well yeah I heard it. People just stopped coming into work. That's right. left us shorthanded, unfortunately. Thank you for being willing to talk to me, Mr. Peters. Of course, uh anything for an old friend. Buckle's grandkid, right? Looked just like him. You knew my grandpa. Sure did. Worked with him for years. Your mom used to babysit my kids when she was around your age. Oh. Oh, do you want me to answer question? Oh, sorry, sorry. Please have a seat. My name is Jordan Aguyar and I'm here with Mr. Amos Peters. Amos, please. How long have you lived in Mayfair?
Almost fifty years. My wife and I moved here in the early eighties. And why did you choose Mayfair? Or. Got a job at Janssen and my wife waited tables at the diner at Angeles. was then. Kathy's now. Blah, it just opened up. What was Mayfair like back then? Bigger. Right. More jobs meant more people. I'd say was better back then. More people also meant more trouble, uh. Got in the habit of picking up Bev, uh that's my wife. Work on Friday and Saturday evenings just to avoid having some Rude customer that Take the word no botherin' her on her walk home. Cheese. Yep. Some people don't know how to act. And tippers were always hot after a long week at the plant. Can you tell me more about that? How long did you work there?
Seven years, uh eighty five to ninety two. You were there when the plant closed? I was.
How does the senior‑project student explain her local‑history documentary idea?
I was almost there when it happened too. We should have been able to do more.
