Thanks June - if you have any stories or remembrances, feel free to leave them in comments here!! I didn’t know anything about her Christian Science background or much of anything of her younger life.

Wonderful interview. I knew Elizabeth when I was a child in the 1950’s, when she was my mother’s Christian Science “practitioner,” and I don’t think I fully appreciated her originality and strength until I listened to your interview, for which I say a heartfelt “thank you.” I thank you for taking the time to remember and present this unique individual.

Great show! Definitely a story that you just can’t get through the mainsteam media. I had never heard of this lady before, but I’m glad I have now.

Thanks!

Susie,
Your stories of that American original, “the nut lady” were delightful! I had no idea she was so famous. Check out her full page obit in the 2-4-07 NY Times.

Thanks, Barbara, that was a huge error on my part.

One minor but significant correction: Christopher Steiner is Professor and Director of Museum Studies at Connecticut College in New London, CT, NOT the University of Connecticut.

Nice change of pace ladies.

And, I think you’re right about how Carson conducted himself on the air, too.
