Good Day in Hudson: November 2007

GUEST: MRS. CELESTE BRAUER, a WW2 Army nurse, served at Pearl Harbor and witnessed December 7, 1941, the day the Japanese attacked the U.S. Naval base. She shares her story about fiancé Albert Brauer, serving there at the same time as Celeste. She tells of the events of that day, as well as the next week. Mrs. Brauer is also honored by CONGRESSMAN STEVEN LaTOURETTE, receiving medals she had earned but never received until 2007. GUESTS: RICHARD GRELL and TOM VINCE visit GDH to discuss the program produced in November, when they portrayed David Hudson and James W. Ellsworth as the two came back to Hudson for a one day visit, sharing some interesting thoughts about the program. TOM VINCE tells the story the Hitchcock family. Henry Hitchcock was an early president of Western Reserve College in Hudson. His son, Lieut. John Ford Hitchcock, graduate of WRC, served and died in the Civil War, age 22. His body was transported to Hudson and is buried at the Hitchcock monument, next to the Markillie Chapel.
