From time to time on this podcast I like to interview individuals that are part of the overall historical marker universe. In this episode I have a wonderful conversation with Griffin Hansen. Griffin works in the animation industry and has a passion for honoring pioneers and influencers in the animation industry by sponsoring historical markers. These markers tell the story behind the story of these special contributors to our life. Many of us came of age enjoying the Saturday morning cartoons or feature films that expanded and enriched our life.

He is also on all the major social media platforms. I draw special attention to the Animation Education Association. This is a vital part of Griffin’s efforts to bring this world of work to our attention.

You can learn more about Griffin and his effort by visiting his websites. http://griffinthehansen.com/

I invite you to listen to Griffin as he shares some fascinating insights into this world.

We pass by many historical markers without realizing the piece of history commemorated on it. We might even read the marker but miss even more information. Such is the marker in Willmington, North Carolina dedicated to Father Thomas Frederick Price. It notes his efforts with the Maryknoll Priesthood. But to me, there's an even greater story behind the story. I share that in this episode. It is one that impacted me as a child and continues to be a major part of my life.

I invite you to join me in the story behind the story of a major accomplishment of Father Thomas Frederick Price.
