Fisher opens the show with word of a
new scent that’s on the market to make you smell “like a
Viking!” It’s the real deal! Fisher visits with Academy
Award nominee Edward James Olmos who shares his family’s remarkable
path. In “Family Histoire News,” a museum in Norwich,
Connecticut is lauding “Benedict Arnold… Hero!” It’s all
about his contributions to the cause of
freedom before turning traitor. Find out
what that’s all about. And, a Seattle man recently found a
box full of color slides taken on his grandparents’ 1939 honeymoon
in England. You’ll want to see the links to these gorgeous
pictures taken just before the outbreak of World War
II.
This week’s
expert guest is Judy Lucey of the New England Historic and Genealogical Society who
gives some great advice about things to consider when looking at
contributing your family history treasures to an institution or
archive. It’s something many of us will have to think about
at some point.
And
Pat Mulso of Minnesota has solved a 164-year-old family
mystery. In 1850 a baby was left in the temporary care of a
priest in New York. When they returned, the priest and the
baby were gone. No one ever learned the fate of that baby…
until now. Hear Pat’s remarkable story!
