EPISODE FOUR CAROL

Carol cracks the door open to talk about  The National Orphans Home, which first opened in 1850.  It was the largest Institution of its kind in the U. S. and provided a very special home for thousands of children until its closing in 1944.  It is said that it set the bar for being one of the best. Carol tells the story of her mother, only 4 at the time, and her siblings growing up in that orphanage after her grandfather died at the age of 32.  He worked in a zinc mine in Tennessee and contracted black lung disease, leaving his wife a widow with 5 children.  Tune in to hear how those children thrived in a time and place when they got it right.
