'HISTORY DETECTIVES' ON THE PROWL

"History Detectives" is a new PBS series that investigates questions posed
by the public about some of history's mysteries. They're in production and
are looking for stories set in historic Oregon.

Their team of historians and antiquities experts will set out to answer
questions about: artifacts recently discovered whose history is unclear,
historic homes and other buildings/ facilities whose rich past may not be
fully known and family heirlooms with an unknown, or only partially known
past.

If you, a friend or neighbor have an object, home, or a building that you
think fits this description, please contact Fred Grinstein at Lion
