TTT1822 May 28 Cemeteries
What does Memorial Day mean to you? A visit to a cemetery to remember a loved one? An occasion to honor our military veterans? The happy culmination of a three-day weekend? What do the ways we remember the dead tell us about the living? TruthToTell host Tom O’Connell talks with James Silas Rogers, author of Northern Orchards: Places Near the Dead; revisits an interview with Susan Hunter-Weir, author of Tales from Pioneers & Soldiers Cemetery, a monthly column in the Alley newspaper; and pays tribute to several local heroes who have enriched our common life.
Guests:
James Silas Rogers is the author of Northern Orchards: Places Near the Dead.
