  • My most favorite

    So much so I need more subjects. I would love more women and less travel and repeat episodes. There so so many other women that could be covered during those times that we don’t need Statue of Liberty, Pocahontas, Mrs. Claus again for those times of the year that can still incorporate importance to those times of year.
