Memories of the oyster trade are fading away faster than a photograph left out in the sun, but it is the job of Epping Forest resident Sharie Valerio to find and capture them on film and audiotape.

"We've gotten some names and interviews, but we know there's more people out there. People think they don't have anything and then the memories just spill out."
