Riveting Television

| January 28, 2009 January 28, 2009 |

I had never heard of this show before, and upon viewing the first five minutes, was absolutely riveted. My apprehension initially was that this was being recorded with very little editing, to the point that my worry was that Tukufu would not be able to get to the bottom of the investigation. But to my delight, the mystery was solved. It was the perfect program to watch during my hour lunch break at work. Tukufu did the necessary commentary to keep the story moving without making it too emotional, where the story on it's own already had emotions attached to it! This will keep me coming back for more. I look forward to my Monday lunch break!

Sitting in Bill Picket's Saddle

| January 23, 2009 January 23, 2009 |

As a former working cowboy and history buff, I really enjoyed the story on Bill Picket's saddle. Often stories about Bill Picket will have some political spin on them. Years ago, I "punched cattle" with a couple black cowboys and I don't recall any of the racism that most city-folks would expect. It was a place, as they say, "where a man is judged by God and the loop he throws." I wish it were that simple these days. People often call cowboys "rednecks." There is a huge difference, and calling me such is an insult.
Anyway, I loved the story and recorded it to show my kids. I hope you do more like it. I'm sure I could provide you with plenty of mysteries that deal with ranches and cowboys.

Viewer Plays History Detective

| January 8, 2009 January 8, 2009 |

My husband and I went to Sea Island, GA to attend a wedding this past summer.
While we knew that my husband's grandfather moved to Brunswick back in 1948, we had no other information about him or Edith, his 2nd wife.
So we decided to play history detectives.
After several disappointing visits to the area cemeteries, we were referred to the Health Department where we purchased a death certificate. We were given directions to the memorial garden and found their markers.
Grandpa was born in 1877 and was 71 when they moved to Brunswick to open the Brunswick Dress Mfg. Co. He passed in 1973, a year before my husband and I married.
Edith was born in 1916- and there was no passing date on the marker. I looked in the local phone book and there she is-living in the same house she and Meyer bought in 1948!
We had a wonderful lunch, and now we have a great-grandmother in the family. I am
still in shock. Not only is great-grandmother alive, she is celebrating her
92nd birthday on Jan 14th- the same day my son was born. Robert will be 21
and celebrating his big birthday with a 92 year old sweetheart!

How about that for a story!
