Our American Family: The Bolducs begins November 3

Our American Family: The Bolducs, the seventh in the Our American Family documentary project, begins airing on public television stations on November 3.

To sustain their farm and dairy delivery in Gilford, NH, Charles and Aurora Bolduc taught their 13 growing children the values of hard work and helping others. Also owners of the world’s longest continuously operating maple syrup operation, they carry on a centuries-old tradition of perseverance required to distill 30 gallons of sap into a single gallon of syrup.

Hats off to Nebraska Educational Television (NET), KTNE in Cheyenne, WY, KRNE in Rapid City, SD and WIPB in Indianapolis for being the first affiliates to air this wonderful story.
