A 45-year-old tape recording about family ancestry leads to revelations about a kidnapped rabbi, a Johnstown drowning, two horrible car accidents, and connections to a hay barn in Lithuania, the New York Times management, Baltimore's symphony hall, and Joe Biden's junior high baseball team.
And, hold onto your ear buds -- perhaps the greatest shock of all: This is an episode where I actually let go of some possessions and give them away. Just sayin'. There can be lots of surprises in life, and in family history.
