H’Doubler on H’Doubler
Margaret H’Doubler was interviewed many times over her long career. Perhaps the most quoted of her interviews is one that was commissioned for the Oral History Archives of the American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation by Mary Alice “Buff” Brennan, a contributing author in this volume. In that interview dated October 8, 1972 Miss H’Doubler recalls her career directed by the sensitive questioning of Buff Brennan. H’Doubler’s official AAHPER interview was also submitted to the Oral History Archive of the Library and Museum of the Performing Arts, New York Public Library at Lincoln Center—where it can be read today. The following is a transcript of a different type of ‘interview.’ Recorded at some undetermined date this transcript is of a presentation Miss H’Doubler made to students of the University of Wisconsin-Madison dance program.
H’Doubler knew her audience and speaks in terms that are engaging, conversational, and clearly oriented towards providing students with a historical and an inspirational accounting. We hear H’Doubler’s unique voice—remembering her own story.
