The day after our 40th anniversary as we lay plans for the excitement that lies ahead.

Reminiscing about 40 great years of marriage, the RRs travel back and forth through four decades of excitement.

Can the RRs have a “down” day? But, it gets better!

Jack gives us a few minutes of his time.

Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, Elvis, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Bette Midler, Celine Dion, Linda Ronstadt, Gatlin Brothers, Roy Clark and others. We couldn’t think of Cindy Lauper with Cher.

The RRs compare the weather in Arizona to Illinois to Colorado to New Mexico and elsewhere.

Got to spend two days with Sam Walton in the late 80s as publisher of the Benton Evening News. Evelyn and I reminisce about those times.

The conclusion of 8A as we talk about our vacation in Europe, also a request from the kids to go back to Benton and other topics.

“Come on back to Benton,” was the plea from our Illinois children who wants us to get out of the coronavirus threat. We also relived our 2011 European 12 days vacation and then the podcast was interrupted so you can get the last part later on S4. E-8b.

Approaching 115 today, one simply cannot ignore the effects of this near record heat wave.
