Introducing “The Grand Tapestry” Podcast

If history is destined to repeat itself, shouldn’t we know how it went down the first time so we can do better the next? Our elders carry with them decades of experience and irreplaceable, practical wisdom – the stories that have shaped our nation. They could also help shape our future.

That’s the premise behind The Grand Tapestry, a new podcast we just launched. For our first episode, we talked to Keltah Belanger, a resident at Magnolia Springs, in Louisville. And, like many members of ‘the Greatest Generation,’ there are parts of her journey that are probably difficult to imagine for younger generations.

An early life marked by the atrocities of war…

“Every good friend I had was killed in (WWII). There was just one after the other that didn’t come back.”

Raising a family during the 1950s (and how time period compared to its TV depictions)…

“During that time, I was having babies so fast I don’t remember much about the ‘Happy Days.’ ”

And not only witnessing but adapting to perhaps the most rapid period of technological advancement our world has seen or ever will see…

“There’s so many things that I love to read about, (and) I think it’s wonderful in so many respects…cars that drive themselves are already here.”

To hear more from Ms. Keltah, check out The Grand Tapestry and stay tuned for future episodes.
