Description

An interview of Edward Atiyeh on the topic of his brother, Oregon Governor Vic Atiyeh, recorded on April 14, 2015. Edward Atiyeh had been a co-owner of the family rug business, Atiyeh Bros. The interviewer, James Moore, was a professor of political science at Pacific University and was Atiyeh's biographer. This was the first of two interviews they conducted; see also PUA_MS161_005. Note: Edward Atiyeh's voice is faint for much of the recording.

The interview revolves around the Atiyeh family rug business (Atiyeh. Bros.), particularly the experiences of the three brothers, Victor, Richard, and Edward Atiyeh. Edward discusses: their family's relationship to government in general; Vic's decision to run for governor, and the challenges of balancing business and politics; Vic's management style; his ability to pick good people; the family's close-knit relationships; health issues; and the family's efforts to support each other. The conversation concludes with reflections on Vic's legacy and the ongoing success of the family rug business.
