Episode Synopsis "In this episode I interviewed Marsha Ewy and heard her account of the blizzard of March 1957."

Marsha was a little girl of 6 when the blizzard of 1957 hit and her oldest brother was in Jetmore for an FFA event. The phone lines, as well as the electricity went out just as her Father and oldest sister headed out to find him...becoming stranded themselves. Listen to how her Mother kept the household going, took care of the younger children and saved all the baby chicks while waiting to hear if the rest of her family had made it to safety. This is a story about how the community came together and supported one another, much in the same way we still do today. (However, I am thankful for modern technology and cell phone service during our current crisis.
