More great stories keep coming in

This thing will make or break based on the quality of the people stories (although the building tales are not too shabby) and, thank the Lord, we keep finding great ones. Or, more accurately, they keep finding us. Our latest is a woman who was diagnosed with TB ten days before her wedding, in 1947. The wedding had to be postponed, of course, when the bride-to-be was sent to Wallum Lake. You like happy endings? So do we -- and this story has one. The woman stayed 2 1/2 years, during which her fiance visited every week. And, yes, they married when she was discharged and they went on to raise a family, and we will interview them soon.

Our next shoot is Sunday, then back to the old farmhouse on Eagle Peak, my place, for a schedule/production meeting, some leftover Christmas chili, and cold beer.
