In small-town Dansville, Michigan, Larry Soule spent 86 years quietly building an extraordinary life. A high school sports legend, 101st Airborne paratrooper, 30-year GM tradesman, and farmer who played softball into his 70s, Larry's passion for preserving history through his beloved tractor collection (especially his 1925 John Deere Spoker D) reveals a man who saw value in what others overlooked. His workshop—affectionately called "Soule Hardware" by his grandkids—wasn't just filled with tractors and tools, but with six decades of stories, community connections, and quiet dedication to the people and place he loved.
True Stories from the Obit Files brings you unforgettable stories of ordinary people with extraordinary lives three times weekly. Because some of the most remarkable stories never made the news—until now.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
