Brenner Branches: My Family Tree
Stagione 1
Nana: Eileen (McCarthy) Bird
di Joseph Brenner
Meet Nana, my maternal grandmother. She shares some relevant tales of national unity, the absurdity of bigotry, and the counterintuitive notion that giving to others has personal benefits. From daughter to great-grandmother, she has great advice on how to keep a family together, happy, and well-fed. She is one of my favorite people, I hope you will see why.
Meet Lolli. She is my paternal grandmother, and the grandparent who grew up in the same small town as I did. Listen to her reconstruct Port Clinton, Ohio and tell tales of the tragedies and triumphs of our family in the vacationland of Lake Erie. Lolli is one of my favorite people, so listen in to hear why she is so special and what gives her comfort, meaning, and inspiration.
