Episode description

LLN (12/25/20) - We’ll have a special holiday treat: a special, truckers version of the classic holiday poem “a Visit from St. Nick,” better known as “Twas the Night Before Chistmas,” Richard Fatherly reads “A Truckers Christmas Tale.” Also, 75 years ago, a trucker helped reunite a woman with her brother, who was injured in the D-Day invasion of Europe. It’s an encore of a 2006 interview with Mrs. Pauline Myers of Independence, Missouri. Taking part in Wreaths Across America provided driver JD Walker a path toward healing after the tragic death of his son. Also, we’ll check in with two truckers who got to attend the White House Christmas party. And we offer our own version of some holiday classics, truck-i-fied by long time trucking writer Bill Hudgins. We call it the Hudgins Holiday Singalong.
