She also has earned a master’s degree from Harvard, a law degree from the University of Louisville and serves as a vice-president at Spalding University. McClure discusses her new book, A Pearl in the Storm, including why it focuses on her first, unsuccessful attempt to row across the Atlantic.
Next, the program visits Nelson County’s Abbey of Gethsemani, where monks live lives of service and worship, supporting themselves by making fruitcake, cheese and bourbon fudge.
Also, Louisville Life offers a brief history of the Southern Seminary, the first seminary of the Southern Baptist Convention. Founded in 1859, it relocated from Greenville, S.C., to Louisville in 1877.
Then, John Gordon, the chief meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Louisville, discusses the past 12 months of weather in Louisville, including the recent flash flood, February’s ice storm and last year’s hurricane winds.
Finally, the program visits Capriole Farmstead Goat Cheeses, an Indiana business that makes fresh, ripened and aged cheeses by hand using only the milk from their own goat herd. Some of their cheeses have been recognized as the best in the world.
