Last year, host Allen Ruff said he and Will had been doing this annual chat for 10, or maybe 12 years. This years he’s rounding up to 15 years. Regardless, this fireside chat is a WORT tradition. This year Will Williams and Allen talk about the real history behind Thanksgiving and the white-washing of that history. They give thanks for their long-time spouses and take calls from listeners who send their thoughts on the really meaning of Thanksgiving and send their gratitude to the station.

Will Williams is a Vietnam veteran and activist with Veterans for Peace
