Our cover story now just turned 200 years old and changed the face shape the nation and subject to that song theme years, Erica and now she is a good early while you are old I was doing.

The story starts in its beloved accurate you all later on Sunday morning, 15 miles more.

All brand with the same. It's not just the Italian word for beautiful.

It's also the name of the sparkling wine.

Christie Brinkley really really want you to try Mark Phillips has paid her a visit and nobody has to teach Christie Brinkley how to sell something to drink. Christie is good reason to be news yesterday about this Italian per cycle.

One. She liked it so much about the company being bubbly about coming up on Sunday morning, you can count on plenty of fast and furious action sporting event our Luke Burbank will be taking us to PJ ball is just your average everyday 12-year-old with one exception.

Let's have a race just so that you this is not even to be close. He's a world-class athlete in a sport. You probably haven't heard it's called sports stacking and will take you to its Super Bowl. I had on Sunday morning we take note this morning I'm singer-songwriter Jack Canton off a composer of hits is never forgotten where he came from. After all, as Tracy Smith will be showing us.

It hasn't been that long since he left Jack Canton has three granting a very famous girlfriend, and writing credits on some of the most popular songs and music today and until fairly recently. He lived at home with his mom and dad, you didn't even say were 29 but will help you get to know Jack later on Sunday morning Moraga surveys the field of escaping the tax neurotoxin books banking with mystery writer Louise Penny sailing turns up the heat on the political put down snowflake and more network featuring radio and TV personalities. Talking business support team and played the way West became a lot easier for Americans, thanks to a canal they started to build 200 years ago this past Tuesday so much easier that people are still singing its praises our Sunday morning cover story as reported by Richard solicitor.

Even though the Eureka now quite literally helped shape this vision, this is what so many people think go first. Now comes up in conversation. No new name is being years on the Erie Canal. She except for the fact that mules didn't drag boats along the Eureka now that from all of the 20 even singer and historian Dave Ruck will tell you this song actually has very little to do with it. Is there any evidence that it was ever actually song on the canal except for situations like this. Turns out it's 1/20 century song actually written by a professional songwriter who was from of all places, Massachusetts saw this man, Thomas S Allen. He comes to Rochester New York around 1910 sees the canal for the first time.

Here's the phrase low bridge loan and body down and ends up composing the song. It's the only canal song he wrote so he was in the bellman. Not only was he not a canal in but no one ever sang the song at least on the 19th century canal now which turned 200 years old. Last Tuesday was championed by a man who was as stubborn as a mule with Clinton mayor of New York City became governor of the state spent 10 years fighting to sell this project deeply skeptical public. It was hard it was not an easy sell.

These landowners are listed Brad on her historian at the New York State Museum. Pres. Jefferson and Madison refused to help fund the canal. So, Clinton had to raise $7 million needed to build some people thought it was a great idea, but not with my money.

Your little crazy because you're trying to go through swamps of virgin forest and there's no labor, there's no machinery to do that kind of thing. This is was a gargantuan undertaking for a nation just one years old the canal would be dug by hand every inch of it for 363 miles. It would be 40 feet wide and 4 feet deep 83 locks would have to be built with Clinton kept at it finance the project with some state money and by selling bonds and construction began July 4, 1817.

It was completed in just eight years on-time and advancing on the budget. If only many miles to go trip it could've taken six weeks before the canal now less than one week and cost 1/10 of an overland trip. So as soon as it opened. The canal was well traffic paid for itself in just 10 years over hundred years old.

John McKee operates the walks in Lockport, New York. Sometimes there was a bear to wait just to get through the locks. Both will be packed up both sides of the banks right here, my course father. Why not wait to go through. They would spend their time and money in town here in the population here Lockport population grew in towns all along the canal, Rochester, New York Mayor, lovely Warren traces the beginnings of her city to the canal.

Now with the foundation of the foundation of our method population well canal also accelerated the Western expansion of the nation people and commerce were able to reach and develop. What would become the American Midwest region that was isolated and landlocked was now connected via the canal and the Hudson River down to New York City and the world linear to their articles. Okay, let's make it and they did. By 1862. The canal was almost twice as wide and twice as deep. People and goods and ideas flow 24 hours a day in both directions. The impact that the Internet has had on our culture and our society is very similar to the impact of the canal had sharing ideas, making things faster canal was used to bring slaves to freedom.

Deadlifts will bring slaves and actually lead them to freedom. The first women's rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, a canal town and Joseph Smith started the Mormon religion in Palmyra along the shores of the canal, but the progress and prosperity was not shared by all. The canal was dug right through traditional Native American land, displacing many who lived there to make way for the commerce that grew steadily for decades until the next great advance railroad. The iron horse was there the railroad was there to compete and the canal was more efficient.

You could put more with less energy and is cheaper for the railroad was fast railroad took passenger traffic first leaving the canal boats to halt mostly freight but by the 1950s most of the freight traffic was gone to today. Most of the boats. John McKee puts through the locks are pleasure craft.

The gates are open by motors that are real. Most everyone who works on the canal system feels the history of what in its early days was derided as Clinton's ditch Josh put on keeps digging today to keep the canal deep enough. I realize that I worked in a museum that stretched from the Hudson River to the Niagara River in Buffalo and connected us to Lake Ontario. The value of the canal cannot be measured anymore freight door numbers passengers that it but it is hard not to be moved by the canal itself and the achievement centuries ago. Just getting what it represents. I think is American ingenuity and American spirit.

And so the fact that we still have this canal here today I think it should be celebrated as long as we can keep it here got its name is July 9 18 145 years ago to run down name noted down that much need no punching out that whole be noted that it was 19 century sea captain Hansen Gregory, who is widely credited with having created the whole, which replaced the not often a well not that was traditionally found in the center of the dough which of course explains the name doe not in any way.

Over the years the doughnut has earned a special place in the Salvation Army serve countless doughnuts to troops during the first and doughnut handouts help sustain an army of unemployed Americans during the Great Depression doughnut dexterity even played a role in the Oscar-winning 1934 film.

It happened one night.

Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert Duncan finishing school just got shut down is an art social longest doughnuts today come in a wide variety of shapes, still no one has been able to invent this 1 cal fry, by definition will these champions find out just as one way to use a cop. Luke Burbank you'd like to Pokémon PJ ball is a gifted athlete. He's just 12 years old, but his talent hasn't gone unnoticed.

He's been interviewed on national TV Instagram page is a hit and he's got more hardware to dangle around his neck. Then Mr. T, but you won't find PJ on the football field or the baseball diamond. You'll find him right here standing behind a table and a stack of cups a stack he can put up and take down with such alarming speed that we feel the need to assure you this clip is not been sped up, welcome to the world of sports that go stack the Specific formation and take them down as fast as possible without knocking.

Okay so can I start with either side.

Is it doesn't matter what you have to make the three pyramids and breakthrough permit can't touch that kind of cancer and okay okay they got one the Tosha ball is PJ's mom life that I need to bring tidy and is like this is so cool you asked your parents for some cups and were you using some other kind of stuff before you got the official stuff yeah I was using just like the little bathroom spake up and they wished horrible and then what was it like when you got the real cups was. I was like I didn't know that this connection will work this sport started at a California Boys and Girls Club back in 1981 were kids were stacking Dixie cups for fun. Within a decade, though supported formalized spreading to schools in 37 states. It was even featured on the Tonight Show in 1990. Today more than million kids participate in sports, acting all over the country by the end of the lesson, you said teachers love it because it's that rare sport that anyone can play ready set go. Even those who may not be as athletically inclined. Well, this is RV PJ and his family.

The sport has been life-changing. In fact, sport stacking his sort of become a family business. This is a pretty big change in your life as a family PJ's parents sold their house in Florida and now traveled the country teaching the sport while PJ competes in various tournaments. Some of the same tournament Jordan Green Highlands Ranch, Colorado is training for 2012 in Dallas and started getting awards to girls steadily getting awards while hiking this and she had in fact she got so good at stacking that she quit playing soccer, baseball and football to pursue this sport full-time. Now she's the fastest female stacker in Colorado and it's not just about the trophies. Studies have shown that house like math, reading, science, like all your bike must focus in school set has helped me a lot like Dale to get better grades because I can focus and do well and understand you want to be a sign language interpreter.

I really like that idea because it's on hands telling my fingers like most sports crackers and PJ keep track of their competitors and their teammate social media, but it's when they all converge in one place that the cups really start the fly. The Junior Olympics in Houston. Yes, this is a junior Olympic sport was a chance for sport stackers of every age and size from around the world to see just how fast they can go you be okay if you guys go minute okay good luck out there and it gave them a chance to prove any doubters out there that stacking is just a quirky hobby, but a real sport, one that belongs in the same sentence soccer, swimming, some people nonbelief or just because it's like oh that's not a sport and that's really done but my super supportive like wow that's so cool when you next turn Amanda how to do in Houston. Both PJ and Jordan, one more metals to add to their collection with Jordan setting a massive personal best along the way in just a couple of years.

Jordan will be off to college. That doesn't even in her stacking along forever. There's a saying that like in the community. Once stacker always in stacker. Meanwhile, PJ sees a possible expiration date on his back. Do you think you can keep doing this for a long time, probably about 16 or 17. I'll probably to college and I'll have some other stuff like job there any way for something. Yeah I married wives really cut into cup stacking time to come home with mom and my grandbaby something I do I would be very disappointed but you later man escaping the cutting edge one more featuring radio and TV personality talking sport played rear thought it was wonderful.

It's Sunday morning on CBS and here again is Jane Hawley. There are plenty of reasons to take note of singer-songwriter Jack Antonov's role in the 2015 movie hello my name is Doris with Sally Field among them last.

You say Jack, who Tracy Smith is here to provide his back story, you may not think you know you probably do not you cowrote this former band when Sarah Mireles wrote her breakout hit Ray health dealers and went to Swift one album of the year in 2015.

Her cowriter Jack Antonov was one of the first people she actually knew the way to the Grammy podium. This was his third secret.

He says, is making music he likes letting the rest take care of itself. You have to believe that people don't want what you think they're gonna like you know they want what you like and once you started doing that once you start after start connecting people and now action is undeniable for the people lined up outside New York's Webster Hall on a recent night's sold-out show with a long way.

Jack Antonov is the lead singer, songwriter and soul of the Iraq group bleachers and a guy who still can't quite believe he's made it like to go from nobody watching you right now. So what is everything were half the audience has like like nearly every place he plays. Now it was wall-to-wall in 1984 Jack Antonov grew up in the northern New Jersey suburbs, with sisters Rachel and Sarah fell in love with music as a kid and with a few friends for showing 1698 the reminders of his early gigs are still written on the closet door of his childhood bedroom. The play was one 1899 fire home burned on Jerzy McPherson, about $20. We got music became an escape for most of his early life Jack watched his younger sister Sarah battle brain cancer and when he told his parents, Rick and Shira. He wanted to tour with his band. They didn't stand in his way. There is much of the time that I was deeply involved taking care of a sick kid but you also just gain perspective on what's really important. So when Jack was a saying here is that I got my first record deal and I really want to go out on the road.

I don't want to go to college and we went go Jack was only 18 when Sarah died, but you can still hear his anguish in his work, like everybody lost somebody from his just released new album, everybody lost somebody something way divorce keep going. That's what is human beings. The choice to keep going you chose to Keep going yet. I did something I feel bad about everybody has sat there carrying some of their heavier similar letter, but no one think some of the it's not all darkness. Don't take the money inspired by the love of Jack's life in the video is an imaginary groom and imaginary wedding. It was felt that the real Los Angeles home he shares with his real-life girlfriend actor and director Lena Dunham. You might recognize her as the star of HBO's hit comedy girl and I may be the voice of my generation, or at least a voice of a generation on this day she was Jack's director. How does Jack take direction. Jack is on man see my pre-distracting accolades are meaningful in the situation we have jokingly been calling him the hitman that's been calling this case because a lot of women love to work with because he's one of the few guys in the entertainment industry comes in with no agenda, no sleaze, just make art people feel safe with him and tell and very practical because my partner in fact he's become a sort of musical might is recent collaboration with singer-songwriter Lord help cement is one of the most sought after producers in the business. Still looking, but he's never too big to come home when a triple Grammy winner gets a splinter there's no one better than mom to pull it out. Believe it or not, until fairly recently. Jack lived here full time. Very hard to leave this house.

You can leave and say were 29.

At that point I'd like number one records his boyhood bedroom sanctuary where he wrote many of his songs nearly intact except that now he's yanked out of his parents house and reassembled it piece by piece in a trailer to take with him on tour. But if you come in.

This is literally this is the exact car, but these are my drawers like that. If this is what was in my drawers and this is where you would initially write some write and record your forever like all my stuff like that's my underwear. Even taking because it was nothing changes his fans may have heard about Jack Antonov's inner sanctum.

Now you can stand the record was fine with all this. She just has one small request. The only thing I've ever said and that's the truth. Jack want to grandbaby something I do I would be very disappointed but not Jack but has do.

Have you ever felt that in an cut that I know side mom is understandably proud found a way to turn personal pain, something awfully close to Joe like you find anything in life gives you five seconds little on our of relief from life. We get letters back now comedian Jim Gaffigan's recent commentary on massage, which he called decadent and weird provoked a number of responses, not least from Dolly Wallace, the president of the American massage therapy Association MTA and its members understand good-natured humor. She writes, but call on the media and public figures do not allow their comments to denigrate the massage therapy profession, which she says is focused on health and wellness among the individual therapist to wrote was Mary Mel who suggested a starkly different form of therapy for Jim to quote her, he should be horse whipped Rachel can't top disagrees. She writes I've been a professional massage therapist for 15 years and I thought it was funny. Simmer down people. It's called comedy.

Moving on our viewer Cheryl Miller sent us this photo of the Sunday morning sun. Her father still painted on his backyard fence. My mom and him just love watching your show every Sunday morning. She writes they usually DVR at and then show us their favorite parts from the week point, you can always DVR our show. If you can actually watch it in real time, which seems to be the right time to mention that whenever we run out of time for regular features such as our Sunday morning calendar.

You can always find them and extras of all kinds on our website.

Finally, we thank our viewer who pointed out that it was 20 years ago this past Tuesday, July 4 that we lost Sunday mornings founding anchor Charles Kuralt. Neither we on this side of the camera are you on yours would be where we are right now without him something on our show either rubs you the wrong way tickles your fancy right has the old-fashioned way or send us an email and will be right back ready to go. 123 looking sharp you guys are interested in looking sharp, but not all will go to the lengths the very short lengths.

Morocco found some men are willing to go as the dog days of summer drag on. It may be time to start thinking about shedding some of that extra hair escaping as it's called, is no longer just for the 40-year-old Virgin main scape architect.

That's what I am Stella Barba and aesthetician with the Barber skin clinic in Miami says men are increasingly coming to her for laser body hair removal, it's either back here again, the unibrow and ear here and were talking removal of hair everywhere.

Once they get that comfort level with you are moving down to the talks are going yet. Below downtown, so Martinez came to Stella for help with his back hair. Now it's bareback today easier for maintenance work on his neck and chest ready to go right now. Not actually going to start here on the neck and you a little bit here we go. 123. The laser zaps the hair follicles underneath. After a few treatments, most of it will never grow back saying things but not everyone is sold on the smooth block. How hairy are you, you have hairy husband. Would you like him to remove his body now. You need like a clippers trend of all these men escaped available and how much do you want to pretty much the shave your whole body for how long. Forever. Our obsession with body is nothing new. Cavemen were said to have removed body hair for hygiene. The ancient Egyptians carelessness converted class status. The Greeks on the other hand you Harry, this is a sign of masculinity and back-and-forth it's gone.

For every Burt Reynolds, Brad Pitt got a lot of nice candles and given us housewarming is that the same kind of wax that you are here last Daniels Infantino is enthusiastic about the benefits of hair removal. She's a waxing specialist at New York City's European wax center.

The guys are coming are they mostly coming in of their own volition or is it significant others are saying listen to anything found me COMING here because maybe their wife or fiancé told dimes that come try out their case in point, our very own follicle fall guy Joe Dooley always had a lot of chest hair long time back here that which seems to be the big issue we have.

First, we surveyed Joe's frontal thread count and he's got this thing seems like yeah yeah nice and it was time to stop yapping and start ripping on quite gently feels like hot fudge so I am on. We are I have to say if you walk out of there now look terrible.

Would look at your hair for all a few more tears and Joe was stripped clean looks like and actually feel younger and younger, more competent, clean your group leader what you think your wife was and she sees it probably is. What is safe for you and featuring radio and TV personalities. Talking business support team and played our farmer with a love for a faraway sport is built himself a backyard court of dreams with Steve Hartman.

We pay a visit.

As long as he could remember Mark, who has been writing a tractor at the family farm in Charles City, which is why as a kid whenever Mark wanted to see beyond the sword you go to his grandpa the old man would take them on exotic ventures introduced me to use for worker role-plays over the world including one day they stumbled on the BBC broadcast of the championships when Mark was instantly set what you like about the exit quickly got into the where the score better.

Why did you go 53rd: love.

It was the beginning of what became a lifelong obsession with Wimbledon course, a lot of people like Wimbledon grass court tennis. What makes Mark outstanding in this field, is what is now outstand in his field was formerly a cattle feedlot is now the all Iowa lawn tennis club center court market you have to build many learn to maintain it during an internship with the Wimbledon ground staff. That's all he wanted just to growing grass, which is why Mark was as surprised as I went after he belted the king from around the world became deployed on his court of dreams. These kids are from Iowa and Minnesota here to complete an invitational term bets umpire barren with also from Minnesota and I found this place in the middle Iowa cornfield sled get in the car so that as fast as I could. What happens when you build it may become world will come from anywhere and everywhere. In the outcome at all times and neither does make you wish you had never know lets people play with so far tennis for two states and six countries that made the pilgrimage to this month.

I started to read over and over you grandpa thank you for so long. Very pleased.

I normally would not consider their short wave radios no Christie Brinkley word sparkly and later president snowflake snowflake.

The word is snowflake it's Sunday morning on CBS and here again is Jane Hawley uptown girl was a big hit for Billy Joel and soon-to-be bride Christie Brinkley back in 1983. Fast forward to today, we find her front and center as a cheerleader for at least a mile sparkling wine and a very hands-on cheerleader.

As Mark Phillips discovered no one will ever accuse Christie Brinkley of the lack of enthusiasm lately she's been even more motivated without wanting a drink. Bellissimo is her very own wine arranger tell you about the hardest thing in the now US sales are up about each year and Christie Brinkley Ortner's think they found a way to break through the marketplace hurt. Of all the places that the loading dock with one of more than four decades into a modeling career. Christie Brinkley never met a camera lens she didn't like what went better in this sort of thing happen per second long.

The predinner tipple in Italy is being marketed in the US is a kind of champagne without the pretensions and without the price more bubbles for the buck when you per cycle girl before he got involved in the business.

I've had my fair share in the region of Italy. About an hour north of Venice or anything that calls itself the second come from the Enough if you're going to get into the wine business place and this is where Christie Beutel bunch of grapes, many of liability. See my great, gorgeous. She's not only found the wine she likes Christie Brinkley seems to have found the fountain of youth.

She's 63 years old now.

I'll say that again.

She's 63 years old going on 23 by the look of her know I have been around a long time. It has been 38 years, and she became the nation's pinup girl appearing on three consecutive Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue covers from 1979 to 81. The only time anybody's ever done that. Nothing's career and I love every day is different and you know know today. So in her life is been like a timeline of the Boomer generation if a little more clamp. Not everybody has a music video, you can more or less place yourself so wherever I go look up and run the Jumbotron. Billy Joel was one of four husbands and four divorces too good to bad. She says there were three children along the way. It's been a life of mostly highs and some significant loads from her families beginnings in Michigan to surfer girl California to an art students life in Paris where she was discovered in a post office.

The legend goes, I never really wanted to be a model that was never dream of mine and I was a little embarrassed that I needed the money that my friends, you know what work so you to do this I can do a days and I was like well I can afford to take us all to Greece working on their like that when ever she's been out seem to with a higher or perhaps more unlikely rebound than when she was asked to play Roxie Hart in the long-running musical Chicago reviews like remarriages were mixed but to jumpstart her career once again I felt like I retired, I always get a little bit insulted when I read for remodeled former office time.

I'm still here anywhere. This skincare Christie used your fame in product promotion before true results. There's the skincare line with the nicest and the Joomla! can and in keeping with the always look your best theme. Her friends may be pleased to know the new perceptual range is organic and includes a sugar-free option zero sugar zero cards.

This is safe for people typing for people and the guy with the world.and if anybody thinks Christie Brinkley's as a way of toasting the end of her career toast again like people are hoping to get a bottle like pop that Cora can say that you might like it. That's Constable lizard on the political landscape snowflakes in July.

It's the political putdown of the moment snowflake and to its fans face daily has one word of advice shall the middle of summer off. A lot of talk about snowflakes. It insults that's Constable lizard on the political landscape taste. These protesters are typical snowflake millennial's now he's president snowflake okay everything is so mean to me and they don't like you know how the president is doing in his first hundred days. Don't ask a snowflake in its current use stems from the 90s book and movie club in which the narrator informs his listeners not starting calling today's youth generation snowflake bemoaning their perceived hypersensitivity word weapon to express a broad kind of anti-intellectualism campuses in communities where cultural sensitivity is a 20 the knee-jerk jibe to shut down political opponents, especially during debates around tolerance more late roles have taken up the snowball fight by calling out the current president for being a thin-skinned self perceived victim Joel he's such a snowflake is a good time to melt this trend by saying I'm a snowflake and so are you. Your children are snowflakes, and so are mine and protect the lab about not being snowflakes. I can see your sixfold ice crystals from here because every person empirically is you are special and flawed and we are all kinds fragile snowflake curry which waking insults look snowflakes create the storm blanket that covers things he can't get to what's underneath. So right left enough with snowflake it's not cool insults your factual and melting.

You are fragile and melting is another way of saying I know you are but what am I paying that an insult largely aimed at youth has made children of those who use it snowflake remind us how much we need climate change politics to what people would do is plant a cluster of three pine trees. Louise takes us to the village of three Pines the loyalty of her millions of readers speaks volumes about the appeal of Louise pennies mystery novels like the Tyson or travel to Penny's hometown to see for herself. There should be a name for fans of Louise pennies mood or mysteries.

The L where the penny see maybe to say they come from far and wide in large numbers to attend the event is no exaggeration, they come all the way to the Canadian town in the Eastern townships of Québec where Penny lives in her books are set many of you become a great distance with me, so I am thrilled to meet each and every one of you. Thank you readers want to immerse themselves in the setting of her books which are as much about the back stories of her murders why people kill as whodunit Penny has published 12 they now routinely debut number one on the New York Times bestseller list or close to it. Her next glass houses comes out next month why books are about many many things. Probably least of all murder there about life choices and taking responsibility for what you do at the heart there about love and friendship and food. Her characters all eat exceptionally well in the made-up village of three Pines which penny tongue-in-cheek informs readers can't be found on any map. Although her publisher is conveniently had one drawn three Pines is meant to be a refuge sanctuary found by people lost. The name has historical significance. Legend has it during the American Revolution. The trees were a signpost for loyalists to the British crown fleeing north to Canada to safety. So what people would do anything with plant a cluster of three pine trees as a signal to these people. They were safe.

And that's how I got the name for the village or detective's chief inspector Armando mosh if I got lucky enough of the books were published and became a series I didn't want to grow weary of my main character, so I decided I would create a man I would marry before Penny herself managed to find three Pines and all its inhabitants. She too was lost. I was drinking more and more and more. The phone never rang the doorbell never sounded. She had it made, or so it seemed from the age of 21. She was a reporter and then an anchor for CBC radio.

The Canadian broadcasting Corporation, but she was also a secret drunk at 35 she walked into an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and changed her life. That meeting never having to drink again. It was unbelievable not to drink and I didn't think the urge to drink. Need to drink disappeared. Not long afterward, she met and married Dr. Michael Whitehead noted pediatric hematologist more than 20 years her senior, who told her that he would support her if she quit her job to write for five years. She tried to write great historical novel. But then on the bedside table will represent their war crime novels.

One of those movements were. I just thought that's what I should write that first book was called still life.

Québec is a character.

A very real character in the books. There is a very keen sense of place with each new book. Honey's following has grown for fans seeking a piece of her fictional and real worlds line between nice and crisp readers are fenced Kelly Shanahan's bakery is the bakery in the books come in absolutely penny here somewhere and on this day of Louise siding local bookstore has become a stand-in for Myrna's new wind used bookstore in the novels we usually have at least three groups a day cutting bus tours started getting bus tours owner Danny Macauley. They're really looking for a connection to use the books of Touchstone Touchstone personally been healed by the books and has been extraordinarily open about her own life each month for her website. She writes what reads like an intimate letter to a close friend.

It was here in 2014 that she disclosed her beloved husband Michael had been diagnosed with dementia and then last fall that he had died so many other more my comfort when fans show up for book signings. It's not just about books. I love her but I love the individual she's become part of the Louise Penny has never laid eyes on. Most of these people before but they are not strangers. After all, she showed them the way to three pine sanctuary where she is now going to find herself once more in hers's writing became Harbor became solace. It became a world I could control. Oddly enough, all the decisions I've made 12 years ago about a place that I would like to live in people. I would choose his friends turned out to be my saving grace. I'm Jane Pauley.
