Thanks for sharing, Alyson! If you guys are interested, we’d love to have a copy of these programs to make available at the Library of Virginia.

The Center for Politics has a really great biographical series we all participated in a few years back going back to the administration of Mills Godwin and including his two terms as governor, as well as those of Holton, Dalton, Robb, Baliles, and Wilder. These were taped and aired on local PBS stations. Annual conferences were held and it was fascinating to hear first hand from the history makers what it was like living and making leadership decisions in their historic administrations.

Thanks for commenting! I agree that it’s very interesting, and it’s great to have these live action, first-hand accounts to supplement more traditional resources in the study of history.

While living in that era of history, it is very interesting to actually see how the men making the tough decisions fared.
