Welcome to BRAHM To Go. Your Go-To Source for arts and history. Today we have an interview with Diane Deal and Karen Goodman. At the time of this interview, Diane was the clerk of court for Watauga county and Karen was one of Diane’s assistant clerks. Karen and Diane are both natives of the high country and their interview goes into detail about the challenges of working in the court system in a small community. This is one of the longer interviews in the series but it was a captivating one to be a part of. We all cried at one point. Since the interview, Diane has retired from the court to be with her family and focus on their Christmas tree business. This interview was part of the exhibit the Way Watauga Works and I hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at the court system.
