Love and Foreclosure
Stephanie and Bob Walker, larger >>
As Thanksgiving approaches, Stephanie and Bob Walker are pleased that they have a home in which to celebrate.
The couple got caught up in the real estate boom of the mid 2000s and bought a dream home in the Los Angeles area. Then, in June 2008, Bob lost his job and pretty soon he and Stephanie had to face the possibility of foreclosure. They were able to arrange a short sale, but had to sell or give away just about everything inside the house because they couldn't afford to move it.
Stephanie and Bob talk with Dick Gordon about how losing their home and tightening their belts brought them closer together, and how Stephanie's blog led them to a rent-free house on an island.

Stranded at SeaÂ
Peter Maerz
Peter Maerz has been an avid diver for nearly 20 years. Recently, on a diving expedition in Palm Beach, the unimaginable happened. His dive boat left him behind. Peter was left in the open ocean with just his camera, an oxygen tank, and a few safety devices. Night was coming. Peter shares with Dick the story of that day, and how he found his camera, a month after having to drop it to the bottom of the sea.
