This is a great idea. When I was 11 or 12, I had to give a speech for a 4-H project and I decided to talk about my grandfather's experience in WW2. So my dad and I drove up to NJ and I intereviewed him for about 2 hours. He passed away about a year later and it's so cool that I heard about some part of his life first hand (we weren't very close and he wasn't much of a talker anyway). I also have the cassette tape of the recorded conversation stashed away somewhere...
