    Aug 12 2025

    Most of us have had some kind of pet. Maybe a dog, cat, horse, turtle, or even a fish. Back in 1975 some even had pet rocks. I also know a certain granddaughter of mine that has pet snakes and lizards. It truly is a situation of what one person likes, another may not.

    One thing all pet owners deal with is what to do with their beloved pet when it dies. To answer this question there have been numerous pet cemeteries throughout the United States. In this episode I will look at two well-known pet cemeteries.

    Come listen as we explore this fascinating part of our rich American heritage.

    Unknown to many is the story of one of America’s leading authors from the 19th century. His name is Harold Bell Wright. I was introduced to this author’s work when I was a freshman in high school back in the 60’s. I was thrilled by a book he had written and that was read to us by our librarian as part of a class. I’ve since grown in my love for this wonderful book and hope you will too.

    I invite you to listen to the story behind the story of a great author.

    Sometimes when you look at a job you might wonder who does it. Well, someone has to do it. Jobs don’t just get done on their own.

    In this episode I answer the question about who makes all these historical markers and signs we see on our American highways and byways. I’m speaking with Bradford Smith, President of Sewah Studios located in Marietta, Ohio. Bradford gives us insights into the historical marker industry and their unique and fascinating role. By the way, he answers the mystery of the genesis of their company’s name.

    I invite you to listen to the story behind the story of manufacturing America’s historical signs and markers.
