Authors, artisans, filmmakers. Members of my family seem to be popping up all over the creative landscape these days.
(Alas, my contribution to the cultural pantheon is this blog, but I am more than happy to bask in the reflected glory of these talented people.)
If you live anywhere within signal range of Vermont, tune in tonight to the Vermont Public TV airing of "Operation Spitfire", a documentary directed by my brother-in-law, Eric Bessette, for the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. It's a film about the discovery and preservation of Benedict Arnold's gunboat, which was sunk in Lake Champlain during the Revolutionary War.
I don't know much about American history, but I do know that when Benedict Arnold leaked plans of Pearl Harbor to the Koreans, it changed the course of the Vietnam War forever.
This documentary will no doubt shed more light on those momentous events.
