On Friday, November 22, 1963, nineteen year old Buell Wesley Frazier drove to his job at the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas, Texas. Sitting next to him in his car that morning was his coworker and occasional passenger, Lee Harvey Oswald.

Little did Buell know that later that day his life would be permanently impacted by one of the most tragic events in American history, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

In this episode of Your History Your Story, we have the privilege of speaking with Buell Wesley Frazier, author of the book, “Steering Truth: My eternal connection to JFK and Lee Harvey Oswald”.

Buell will talk about what it was like to train and work alongside Lee Harvey Oswald at the Book Depository, and will recollect his experiences on that fateful day in Dallas more than 60 years ago.

In this episode of Your History Your Story, we will be speaking with Parkinson’s disease advocate and author, Dr. George Ackerman.

George and his family started the website, TogetherforSharon to honor his mother’s memory and to share the message of Parkinson’s awareness and hope for a cure.

George’s mother Sharon passed away at age 69 on January 1, 2020 after bravely battling Parkinson’s for over fifteen years. For many of those years, George served as her caregiver.

Since his mother’s passing, George has dedicated himself to providing hope, resources and encouragement for people with Parkinson’s, their caregivers and families so they will know they are not alone in their struggles with this disease.

In this episode of Your History Your Story, our guest is Lisa Voelker, author of the recently released, award winning novel, “The Spoon: The Story of Two Families’ Survival of the Hungarian Revolution”.

“The Spoon” is based on stories told to Lisa by people whose lives were hugely impacted by the events surrounding the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, which lasted only twelve days before it was crushed by Soviet tanks and troops, resulting in thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of people being exiled from their homeland.

Lisa’s love of history was nurtured early in her life by her mother and she has always enjoyed researching and telling stories, particularly ones that relate to people who have overcome great odds or have endured significant difficulties. “The Spoon” is one of those stories.
