Letters from the Battle Zone

Celia McLaughlin was a WWII Army nurse who left her 20 month old baby girl with family while she went to serve her country, in North Africa and Europe. Her daughter Pamela McLaughlin is now retired and has written a book "Celia, Army Nurse and Mother Remembered," a biography of her mother rich with letters her mother sent home during the war effort. We'll talk with Pam about those years and her mother's legacy.

Later in the show we'll check in with naturalist Iain MacLeod of the Audubon Society of New Hampshire. He'll tell us what animals are doing to prepare for winter, and he'll tell us about a killer songbird that's lurking in our midsts.
