  • CAPT. JACK TUELLER AND HIS TRUMPET

    CAPT. JACK TUELLER AND HIS TRUMPET
    Feb 11 2026

    We have two stories about Capt. Jack Tueller, who was a highly decorated US Army pilot who served in three wars. The first is a legend which goes hand in hand with Valentine's Day,which, by the way,is this Saturday (2026). The second is the true story that inspired the legend. In both, Capt Jack is at D-Day + 12 in Normandy, he is very good with his trumpet, and his trumpet gets results in both stories.

  • THE GHOSTS OF ROME ARE EVERYWHERE

    THE GHOSTS OF ROME ARE EVERYWHERE
    Feb 8 2026

    Like it or not- ancient Rome is everywhere in our lives- in our language, our laws, our structures, our holidays, and even our calendar, in the days of the week and the months of the year. It seems strange that after 1500 years since Roman civilization dumped its many gods in favor of one that we still live with them every day. Join us for a look at just how much we depend on a long-crashed civilization in our daily lives.

I liked this until the Bielski show which was awful.

The claim to be objective was blown away.

I lived in Poland and know very well that these men and the followers were just bandits and murderers and killed villagers and than conveniently labeled them Nazis.

Says it is factual than takes a turn for fiction.
