Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your point of view Ken Burns now calls my home town of Walpole NH his adopted home town. We were a sleepy farming community along the Connecticut River which got bypassed by the interstate highway system. The family farms went out when commercial farming arrived and our main employer, a chicken hatchery where Rhode Island Reds were developed, got bought out and closed down. Ken and friends came to town and bought up most of the land and opened his studios and various sideline businesses. Several of my relatives now work for him.

There is some talk about an updated documentary of the Vietnam War - one of his producers has my story (which is not much of a story) - who knows  :P

Al your story and the story of the guys you served with is one hell of a story. One that needs to be told, because very few have any idea of what really took place.

Been watching some of The Civil War series on pbs this week and realized I incidentally have most of the dialogue memorized.   I can't count how many times I've watched it in the past.

More than 20 students at a Virginia high school were suspended Thursday after wearing clothes emblazoned with Confederate flags, according to multiple media reports.

Montgomery County Public Schools spokeswoman Brenda Drake told WSLS-TV in Roanoke that 22 or 23 students at Christiansburg High violated the dress code and refused to comply when given the opportunity. All were issued one-day, in-school suspensions, Drake said.
