Sometimes, even when we try to do everything right, life doesn't always go to plan. Host Diane M. Simard tells the story of an acquaintance whose life and career unraveled quickly. But thanks to his resilience, a miracle happened. The story is about hard work, men's fast-pitch softball, heartbreak, and—ultimately—perseverance, and Diane shares a poem she wrote that played a key part in the story.

Ep 5 Kalamity Kate & Cartoon Corral
Back in 1971, host Diane M. Simard spent her 5th birthday as a guest on a kids' after-school show called Cartoon Corral. The show, produced by KOLN-KGIN TV in Lincoln, Nebraska, was hosted by "Kalamity Kate," portrayed by Leta Powell Drake.
