Re: FC 87 A History of Howard Johnson’s with Anthony Sammarco

Thank you for bringing back memories from my youth. We traveled every weekend to visit a different relative throughout the New England region. As children with excitedly anticipated seeing that Orange roof knowing that we would enjoy a meal or ice cream depending how long the drive had been. I lived in New Hampshire where we had a choice of Howard Johnson's to visit. It sadden me when the our Nashua store closed in 1995 I believed it was the last one in new Hampshire to close. I would love his book, so I could relive those memories for years to come. Maybe he will write a bok about A&W Root Beer, another of my icon memories; roller bladed waitress arriving to your car with your order.

I enjoyed this topic very much. Wonderful stories. I can't wait for my 2 books I ordered to come in the mail to start reading the other stories about Cambridge and Watertown. Thank you.

Last year I heard Roger Thompson speak at NEHGS, and he gave a talk on each of his different books. I brought them all to be autographed. He was surprisingly funny and entertaining, and his books are excellent references for genealogists, as well as good reads for anyone interested in history. His tales about digging through courthouse records are wonderful! What a treasure he is to have on your show.

One more time: thank you SO much for having these shows available online afterwards, Marian! I absolutely love your programs -- great choices in authors and interesting topics -- and have this minor little problem at show time called "working for a living" with an employer who has this outrageous notion that if he's paying me at that time I ought to actually be working for him... Being able to listen later is such a boon -- what a nice thing to do for the genealogical community!

Re: Show Notes – A New England Town with Ken Lockridge

Marian Pierre-Louis — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 21:40:48 -0000

Let me check into this and see what I can find out. If I come up empty I will email Ken and ask him. I'll let you know as soon as I can.

I've done a bit of searching, but could not come up for any book or reference to Ken's mention of Reese Isaac re the cultural consequences of the American Revolution. It was mentioned in the section on taxes. Perhaps my notes are inaccurate.

Re: Show Notes – A New England Town with Ken Lockridge

Marian Pierre-Louis — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 14:54:17 -0000

Christine,

The book Ken referred to is "To Serve God and Wal-Mart: The Making of Christian Free Enterprise" by Bethany Moreton.

Here's a tiny url that will take you to the book on Amazon - http://tinyurl.com/ao38nbe

Marian Pierre-Louis — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 14:03:56 -0000

Yes, there was a book mentioned about WalMart that was written by a student of Ken's. Let me have a listen to that section again and see if I can find the author for you.

Re: Show Notes – A New England Town with Ken Lockridge

Christine M. — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 04:09:45 -0000

There was another book briefly mentioned. It had to do with the roots of conservative politics in America; may have mentioned Wal-Mart in the title?
