WXXI On-line...... www.wxxi.org during the 20th century? Lynn: One of the tragedies of the Vietnam War is that America got involved in a conflict in a country far away that we didn’t really understand. We didn’t understand our allies or our enemies. We as filmmakers did not want to make that same mistake. I spent a lot of time in Vietnam getting to know people who lived through the war there and hearing from civilians and soldiers, and also speaking to Vietnamese-Americans who fled Vietnam after the war. Q: Why does Vietnam still matter? Ken: Just think about it. You want to understand WikiLeaks? Let’s go back to the Pentagon papers. You want to understand about meddling in foreign affairs, about political parties reaching out to foreign powers? That’s in the story of Vietnam. You want to find out about the disconnect between the generals who make the plans and the service members who do the fighting and dying? AUGUST’S MEMBERCARD PLUS BENEFIT Vietnam reveals this. To understand Vietnam is to arm yourself in the best sort of way for how to deal with our present incredibly fraught moments. It couldn’t be BAY CREEK more relevant than it is today. Q: What did you learn from making this film? Lynn: One thing that I learned that I will carry with me is that history is a lot PADDLING CENTER more complicated than we give it credit for. There is no story that I’ve tried to tell that is more complicated than this. With any one aspect that we tried to tell – there were at least three points of view or more. It was a constant exercise in compassion. It’s important to be open to considering that things are not as simple as they seem. We look forward to this new series and will use it as a catalyst to update and share the resources that WXXI’s Veterans Connections website provides. Our goal is to identify the most pressing needs and issues facing veterans in our region and to develop ways that WXXI programming and outreach can help address those needs. Whether it’s a veteran or the family of a veteran, WXXI is dedicated to helping bridge veteran needs with community support and awareness.

WRUR-FM 88.5 Spotlight IRISH PARTY HOUSE’S TED MCGRAW RETIRES FROM THE AIRWAVES Ted McGraw, longtime host of Irish Party House, broadcasted his final show on June 25 on WRUR-FM 88.5 (Rochester) and WITH-FM 90.1 (Ithaca). Ted shared his love of traditional Irish music and his collection of thousands of albums and CDs with his listeners for more than 40 years. A staple for the local Irish community, Irish Party House was one of the nation’s longest running Irish programs. Ted’s love of Irish music began when he was just a child, singing songs around the piano with his mother and listening to the radio. His passion for the musical genre can be measured in the 10,000 pieces of media he has been collecting since 1952. He hopes to find an institution where his collection can be preserved and used for both research and listening. The collection includes 78s, 45s, cassette tapes, albums, and CDs. To Ted Irish Party House was a wonderful and satisfying hobby. For his loyal listeners – he hopes they felt a sense of nostalgia when listening, hearing music from their homeland. For the younger generation who tuned in, he hopes he exposed them to music they may have not otherwise heard and have grown to appreciate.
