Season One, Episode 8: Two Yuletide stories this month. The first is an actual letter from American writer Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) to his beloved daughter Susie (March 19, 1872 – August 18, 1896). She was the second child and oldest daughter. Sam was heartbroken when Susie died of spinal meningitis at age twenty-four.
Interview: Elaine Muray, an Albuquerque based Storyteller who often blends her stories with graceful & evocitive movement. Her story for the podcast is about her father & a very special Christmas friend of the family.
The second story is one of how some Busted Flushers responded to an unexpected need of some accidental Christmas Eve visitors.
