    Irwin 1 Interview of Debbie Greenberg Irwin, class of 1979 Interviewer: Phyllis Santry, class of 1966 Date: June 9, 2014 Location: New York, NY Interview transcribed by Daniel Putnam, class of 2015 Note: From the start of the interview through 7:30, there is significant amount of background noise. PHYLLIS SANTRY: This is Phyllis Santry, I’m talking to Debbie Irwin in New York City on June 9th, 2014—part of the Oral History Project of the Pembroke Center Associates. Debbie, I’m sure you took a look at some of these questions—it’s basically divided into three sections: your background, your experience at Brown, and then your eXperiences going forward. So we have a few sample questions that might get the ball rolling here, whatever you think is important to focus on, of course, is up to you. Could you tell me a little bit about your family and your background? DEBBIE IRWIN: Sure. I don’t recall actually if you said my name—I’m Debbie Irwin. SANTRY: Oh, did I not say that? Oh dear. [laughter] IRWIN: You may have, I’m a little distracted by the noise in the background, and I hope that it’s not a problem for the recording… So, I grew up in Chicago, and my father was a professor of Entomology at the University of Illinois. And my mom was and is a family therapist. We did a lot of traveling abroad because my father won a Fulbright, twice, to study wherever he wanted. So we went to Rome and spent a year there.

To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives. With the operation of WGBH-TV on Channel 2 in Boston, educational television has become a reality in Massachusetts. This station is pioneering non-commercial educational tele- vision in New England entirely financed by private grants and subscriptions. Although state or municipal funds are not in any way in- volved in the operation of Channel 2 or other television stations, some credit must be given to the Commonwealth itself for encouragement of educational television in Massa- chusetts.
