Tristan was a pleasure to work with on this project, which came out 15 years ago. Several of our collaborators on this work are no longer with us, and I’m excited to see their reflections and thinking still finding audiences.

Was saddened to hear of the death of soap opera actor icon Tristan Rogers, and appreciate seeing his reflections for our book “The Survival of Soap Opera” in this piece. https://t.co/QxdvQNfONf

She was a pivotal figure in linking quilts to the American experience — although she herself never stitched so much as a sweater in her life.

Since my friend Molly Bingham introduced me to Shelly Zegart in 2018, I’ve found her passion & persistence inspiring. It was an honor to work with her directly for the past four years on her passion of spreading the word about the stories of awesome Kentuckians via @KY2theWorld.
