High Cost of Dying
The cost of everything is going up. Where Claudia Windal lives, near a large Native American community in Minnesota, people are having trouble paying for burials and even gas to drive to the funerals of their family members. Claudia is committed to helping. She's been ministering to the dying and their families as a nurse and Anglican priest for decades.
A couple of years ago, she realized what her community needed most was a sympathetic funeral director who knew how to keep unnecessary costs down. She went back to school to learn mortuary science and now runs a funeral home that serves Native Americans.

A Voter's Drive

We've been asking you to make the political personal. What are the political moments that have changed you?
Frank Lynch clearly remembers the moment that changed everything for him. Frank couldn't wait to become eligible to vote in the early 1970s. So when the Constitution was amended to allow 18 year olds to vote, Frank was eager to get his fellow college students involved.
Frank vividly remembers a hundred "hippies" descending on the local election supervisor's office -- along with the faint hint of marijuana in the air.
