This is Deena’s favorite episode. Tom McArthur is considered by some to be Spokane’s Historian. We were so thankful to be able to speak with him about Expo 74! Deena and Tom share with us their conversation.

Charlene was 39 years old and had six children in tow at Expo 74. She never lost one in the crowd and remembers the wonderful Russian food, the chair lift, and appreciates the changes in Spokane that Expo 74 brought. Listen to her story here! She brought us cookies when we recoded this episode.

Art has his own Expo 74 memories and fills in more of the story for us. His unique experience with the Expo 74 is a very different story and helps us to see another view of life in Spokane in 1974! We could have talked for hours, and we did. Here is a small part of the conversation.

Joan Kendal shares with Deena about her expo experience. Joan remembers going every possible day to the Expo with her two small daughters and enjoying the music of Up With People. She, like us, knows her town was changed forever!
