In this episode we kicked off the month of March, which is Women’s History Month. Four local women of history, adventure and letters were guests in the studio: Sarah Birdsall, Sue Deyoe, Lisa Roderick and Autumn Merritt. They described their own entry onto the Timeline of Talkeetna and how their work and interests help shape the story of our community. Autumn Merritt is the Manager of the Talkeetna Historical Society and helps to reintroduce us to some women of our past as well as discuss the importance of history and update us on Museum news.
