A Make-A-Wish Story ~ StoryCorps: Dave Thompson ~ What if Teddy Roosevelt was Female?

Wednesday, September 19 – We meet Make-a-Wish child Logan Hahn and her mom, Nikki Hahn, as well as Billi Jo Zielinski, President and CEO of Make-A-Wish North Dakota. ~~~ Our own Dave Thompson was among those who took a turn in the StoryCorps mobile trailer this summer. We share an excerpt as he visits with Lowell Loritz, Prairie Public business development representative. ~~~ The theme of this year’s Theodore Roosevelt Symposium is “Women in the Arena (and a bit of Roosevelt, too).”  One of the featured speakers is Virginia Scharff, whose presentation is titled, “If Theodore Roosevelt Were a Woman.” Scharff is a distinguished professor of history at the University of New Mexico.
