E212: LUWT Mary Donaldson-Evans

Host: Don Helin Guest: Mary Donaldson-Evans Description: This podcast transcript features an interview with Mary Donaldson-Evans, a resident of Willow Valley and a former French professor. She shares her life story, beginning with her childhood in Minnesota and her formative year working as a nanny in Paris. The conversation highlights a significant discovery of hundreds of wartime letters exchanged between her parents during World War II. These letters inspired her to research her father’s service in the 10th Mountain Division and eventually led her to Italy to meet a family he had befriended decades earlier. This historical journey resulted in her book, "Behind the Lines," which preserves her parents' experiences for future generations. Donaldson-Evans also discusses her most recent work, which offers humorous reflections on the aging process.

E211: LCSWMA, The Great Green Secret of Lancaster County

04/14/2026 LCSWMA: The Great Green Secret of Lancaster County Host: Carol MacAllister Guest: Michelle Brown, LCSWMA, Energy and Commodity Manager. Have you ever wondered what happens to your trash here at Willow Valley? Why can’t we recycle everything? Why do we have to separate our recyclables, and what happens to them once they are picked up by our commercial hauler? In today’s Open podcast (meaning it was open to the public to watch), you will discover what happens to everything we toss out, from the smallest tissues to the largest construction waste. And yes, we talk recycling: what determines what can be recycled and what happens to it. Our guest is Michelle Brown, LCSWMA’s Energy and Commodity Manager. We covered everything LCSWMA does, why it is one of the best operations of its kind in the nation, and how it manages to be fully self-supporting (no tax dollars!).
