Join us as we welcome Barbara Blakely Holck to The Clubmobile, daughter of Everett and Margaret Blakely. Barbara's father, Everett Blakely, is known throughout the 100th Bomb Group, but her mother Margaret also has a story.

This is an episode full of laughter, family memories, and the story of Margaret through her youngest daughter's eyes.
