These stories focused on wise, colorful old-timers whose lives spanned most of the 20th century. From their favorite rocking chair or their kitchen table, they told their life stories. The tales, in addition to revealing the resilience and humanity of each person, also opened a window into the challenges and joys of Waldo County life in a bygone era. 20190206.
