Ep. 127: Whidbey Maker of Vintage Documents for Ken Burns, Spokane Historic District Update, Bill Kurtis on D.B. Cooper, and long-ago Seattle Barbershop Quartet the Four-Do-Matics

Feliks Banel's guests on this LIVE BROADCAST of CASCADE OF HISTORY include Paul McClintock of Whidbey Island, who created many 18th century documents for Ken Burns' "American Revolution" documentary series currently airing on PBS; Mitsy Hunter of Spokane Preservation Advocates on the recent successful grassroots campaign to defeat a city ordinance which would have created a moratorium on historic districts; highlights from a 2021 interview with seasoned journalist (and "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" announcer) Bill Kurtis on his 1971 coverage of the D.B. Cooper skyjacking; and Julie Green Lombardo -whose father Del Green was a member of long-ago Seattle barbershop quartet the Four-Do-Matics - for whom we play a vintage recording by the group on an old LP that she'd never heard before. We also shared sad news from Jean Sherrard about the passing of longtime Seattle historian and author Junius Rochester - to whom we will pay tribute in an upcoming broadcast.
