"We don't talk about Grandpa."

58 minutes

While Lesley was enjoying Thanksgiving with her family, she heard her great uncle say that he wasn't allowed to talk about his grandfather. That was enough to set Lesley on a (now) 15-year journey in search of her great-great-grandfather, Frank W. Hawley, and his schemes, "business dealings", and more. This story is fascinating and is what we'd now refer to as a Ponzi Scheme. Enjoy my conversation with Lesley Sablatura!
