Each First Person program is presented at 1:30 p.m. Friday on the second floor of the museum, 620 N Harvey.

Executive Director Kari F. Watkins said the "First Person: Stories of Hope" series was developed to give visitors the opportunity to hear some remarkable stories about the April 19, 1995, federal building bombing from family members, survivors and rescue workers.

Scheduled speakers are:

Friday -- survivor Mary Mowdy.

Aug. 5. -- family member Deborah Gomez.

Aug. 12 -- rescuer Ellie Lottinville.

Aug. 19 -- family member Lori Randolph Neace.

Aug. 26 -- rescuer Robin Gurwitch.

Sept. 2 -- survivor Fran Ferrari.

Speakers for the programs are drawn from the museum's volunteers, board or committee members, Watkins said.

After a brief video introduction, a moderator will introduce the speaker and conduct a 20-minute interview, followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer session with visitors.

The First Person program is included in the museum's admission price.
