Executive Councilor Ruth Griffin from Portsmouth has been participating as a delegate at Republican Conventions since 1972. She's currently in New York applying her 30+ years of convention experience to the GOP's platform committee.

We'll also hear words of wisdom from a straight-talking former New Yorker on what kinds of things delegates should and should not do while in the Big Apple. Victoria Shouldis was weaned in New York City but now lives in Hillsboro.

Laura's guests are David Switzer, retired Professor of History at Plymouth State University and also consulting Nautical Archeologist for the state of New Hampshire, and Brendan Foley, Postdoctoral Fellow specializing in Archeology in Deep Water at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts and lecturer in the history of technology at M.I.T.
