Scope and Contents: Notes from original housing: "1983 interview with very early member Elaine Knapp, in conversation with Faith Rogow and Del Brown. Her work on the Herizon Board guided critical parts of the transition to a functional 213 State Street Club. After 'The Police Bust' and arrests at 77 State St, Elaine Knapp's unique skill set and talent for organizational details supported the critical change from a young ad-hoc group to Liquor License holding legal bar and functioning club." Conducted August 31, 1982.
