Jean is a founding member of Story Chip. She began thinking about oral history collections in 8th grade in Mrs. Anderson's fabulous World History class at Williamsburg Junior High School in Arlington, Virginia. Mrs. Anderson's lesson on the battle of Lexington and Concord required the reading of first hand accounts of the outbreak of the battle. The crucial problem was that no two accounts were the same, beautifully demonstrating that history needs many stories to provide a full understanding of an event. She held onto the inspiration offered by Mrs. Anderson with the completion of an undergraduate degree in history. Story chip is the result of those years of inspiration.
