From 2022 - We speak with Dr. Laura Gellott, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, about her book Helen Perry Curtis and the European Trip of a Lifetime." Ms. Curtis was the author of "Jean and Me," which once upon a time was an extremely popular book for young readers- and a book that Professor Gellott dearly loved in her youth. We talk about the life and legacy of Ms. Curtis, but we also discuss Professor Gellott's wide-ranging efforts to gather as much information as she could about her subject's life.
