Description
The youngest son of U.S. Congressman William Kent, Roger studied law at Yale University. He tells of his life at that school, and his work at the general counsel of the Defense Secretary's office. Roger was greatly involved in politics in Northern California, and describes his dealings with Richard Nixon. He also discusses his family, including his parents, his brother and his grandfather. From 1974 to 1984, Carla Ehat, with partner Anne Kent, and later Genevieve Martinelli, interviewed a broad spectrum of Marin County's long-time residents, from ranchers to politicians, including descendants of early pioneer families. This program was co-sponsored by the Marin County Free Library and the Moya Library in Ross. The resulting archive, consisting of nearly 300 recordings and their corresponding transcriptions, are housed in the Anne T. Kent California Room at the Civic Center branch of the Marin County Free Library.
