Most of us had favorite cartoon characters as a child, or perhaps a famous or legendary figure. One such famous figure is Smokey the Bear. Almost every child in America knows Smokey and his famous saying "Only you can prefent forrest fires."

In this episode I explore a bit about the story behind the story of this iconic figure. His fame spans America's past and present and will likely continue into the future.

So come join me as we learn about our friend Smokey.

We often find heros of our nation on historical markers. Many are well known figures from our nation's past. But sometimes there are some who many may not know about. That's part of the value and excitement of a historical marker.

In this episode I want to look at another kind of historical marker many may not know of. It’s one that can even be carried in your pocket. I invite you to listen to the story behind the story of a patriot and hero on such a historical marker and his notable contribution to our great nation.
