The Story You Never HeardThat Singer From DetroitI dug for something to say about this particular story and came up empty handed. I would do well to leave it to the subject of tonight's tale to drop some words here."Old? I'm not old. I'm ancient. Old? Stick around long enough it might just happen to you. Aged? Age? Age. There's only one age. You're either alive or you're not. I'm not getting old, I'm getting dead. I'm gonna live till I die."

The Story You Never HeardA Star With a PlanShe arrived in America in 1938. She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. And in her spare time she created technology that would eventually be adopted by the US Navy. She avoided the limelight, a difficult task for what MGM called “The Most Beautiful Woman in The World”, and just wanted to help make the world a better place. Without her contributions to science and technology, we might not even have the wireless communications systems we have today.View us on Podbean - thestoryyouneverheard.podbean.comVisit our website - www.thestoryyouneverheard.com

The Story You Never HeardThe Sky Is On FireIf I told you that our story tonight was about a great fire that occurred on October 8, 1871, you’d probably guess we were talking about the Great Chicago Fire. Well, on that very night, two great fires occurred. And the one we’re talking about took more lives than the Great Chicago Fire. Some estimates put it at almost 10 times the lives lost to tragedy. This is the story of Peshtigo, Wisconsin and the fire that ravaged the town and destroyed 12 nearby communities on that October night, turning the small town, albeit briefly, into hell on earth.
