DONNA BAILEY Chief Operating Officer I'm currently watching The Roosevelts: An Intimate History on PBS . I’ve been a huge fan of NH PBS and I’ve discovered about myself that I may have missed my calling to become a historian. This documentary from Ken Burns weaves together the stories of Theodore, Franklin, and Eleanor Roosevelt for more than a century, and how they shaped history while overcoming personal tragedies. It’s streaming on PBS through the end of May. Enjoy!
