Great, especially the Kover story! (22:44 – 23:43 minute mark).
I was moved by Hallie’s story connecting her with her mother’s past. It’s interesting to see the parallels she relayed about her mother’s art and her dance. She was truly a pleasure to watch and hear. Good pick for the program.
A man wrote a book about his father meeting a primitive Algonquin Indian during the 1920s in Pelham, the Bronx. Shown on Thursday, Nov.12 about 8:30-9:00 PM on Thirteen. I need the name of the author and the book.
