I produced two different stories on this topic: one for radio and one for television. Scroll down to listen to the radio story.

The radio story was originally broadcast on April 21, 2009, as a segment on KALX-FM’s North Gate Radio show:
Hey, I finally came to watch this video you were telling me about. This was great. I liked the pacing of your storytelling. And the details you included about each person. And, yes, you have a great radio voice!
Thanks, Angela, for your comments! There was so much more I wanted to include, but I had to adhere to a strict time limit for the final edited piece. Each person had a fascinating story to tell.
