Winter Wonders
This episode is scene four in The Sievers, the third play in The Silverfields of Northbrook trilogy. It's early winter 1960 on Gregg Road. A heavy snow storm has hit the cul-de-sac as Stanley prepares to make sales calls. First, however, he calls Northbrook's city hall to have a public works crew clear the snow from the driveway's edge. Cindy's building a snowman in the front yard. Michael G. Sievers, the writer, producer & creator of The Silver King's War podcast series, talks about his family's life in the 1950s, a recent reunion with his Wisconsin Badger college roomies, and a trip to Madison with Roger Sharpe, where he, Joe Weigler and Michael met as 1966 freshman playing pinball machines in The Pub and other State Street bars.
