This is a wonderful work-in-progress project! RFESOTO files have been a true family and community effort. Yirong inspiring it, Yiliang doing the digitizing work, Seth pointing toward the Internet Archive, with Liz R and Jason S making it happen. There's a detail about their initials matching mine, making it a lovely coincidence. Thanks to The News Brothers and Dr. Ken. Preserving audio and video recordings for future generations is meaningful work. The Internet Archive is a fantastic home for a collection like this. It's free, open to everyone, and built to last. https://archive.org/details/sotoarchive
