Welcome to the Wednesday, 5th of June 2019 broadcast of the Greenwich, A Town For All Seasons Show starting 9:00 a.m. on Radio 1490 WGCH and WGCH.com anywhere via live audio streaming.
We live in an imperfect world -just in case you did not know. I had a guest lined up for tomorrow's show, but truth be told he had to cancel out at the last minute due to circumstances beyond his control.
What's an historian and show host to do? Wing it! And that's precisely what's in store.
You'll hear about a remarkable talk at the Retired Men's Association commemorating the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion. Mr. Bob Wylie spoke at the First Presbyterian Church starting 11:00 a.m. The public was invited to attend.
Did you know that Helen Keller lectured in Port Chester, New York in November, 1913? Tickets were priced at 75 cents! She caused quite a sensation.
Speaking of Port Chester, you'll hear about a unique and insightful history group here in Facebook I recommend joining: the Port Chester NY Historical Archive administered by Norm Davis.
We'll cast our gaze to Hester Bush Mead -both to her gravestone in Union Cemetery and a watercolor of one of our ancestral homes attributed to her.
And finally, we'll head north to Round Hill where I grew up to an ancient cemetery known as Burying Hill replete with mysteries and history.
Can't listen in real time? That's okay; I've got you covered with show archives on Podcasts.com and SoundCloud.
We invite businesses to advertise on the show. Contact us at GreenwichATownForAllSeasons@gmail.com.
Tune in to our next broadcast on Wednesday morning, June 19, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Thank you for listening.
