The Elkhart Tapes

Tim's great grandfather Rev. Millard M. Akers and great grandmother Ethel Julia (White) Akers took a covered wagon from East of Liberal, Kansas and moved to Elkhart in the late summer of 1913. They lived in a dugout on Sherman’s Hill where Ethel stayed while Millard, who had purchased a claim in Baca County Colorado, spent his days building a small home.
Tim's grandfather Richard L. Akers was the first baby boy born in the newly incorporated town of Elkhart on December 25, 1913.

Rev Millard M. Akers and Ethel were the first pastors of The First Church of God.
Tim started working for his dad in the Pioneer Men’s Store when he was 9. Tim talks about working for his fathers store and how the town successfully kept Walmart out but they still managed to steal all of the customers.

Tim speaks about how Elkhart used to be a busy little town. We discuss previous census reports of over 5k people living in the area. A lot of business' came and went.

One of those businesses was The Vault which was opened by Bob and Dian Boaldin. Tim was brought in to operate the men and women's store. The building used to be a bank, rumor is that it is the same bank that was robbed back in 1932.

We talk about Suzanne Johnson and how that shook the town. Tim was in Kindergarten when she disappeared. He was at his dad's store when he heard she had been found deceased.

We also talk about scary spooky stuff, the blue lady at the cemetery. Old buildings, old tunnels under main street...

I met Courtney through FB. She was part owner of the comedy group known as The Bro Show. I went and saw them perform. She came to my studio on 2 occasions. I always enjoyed her company.

In this excerpt, Courtney discusses her battle with mental illness. She unfortunately lost that battle around a year later.

31, To My Daughter...

To my daughter on her first Mother's Day.

Those were the words on the card that Tiffany Bernal stumbled upon in the middle of the card isle in Dollar Tree. In October. No where near Mother's Day in May. And it would be her first Mother's Day when May arrived.

Chills, right? Tiffany speaks of several other instances where she has had signs appear out of the blue, just like in the case of the card. As co-host of her podcast, Portraits of Grief, Tiffany speaks to us as a fellow griever and is very open about her own journey with losing both her parents, getting married, becoming a mom, and what life is like now.
