Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved?

Co-chair Ed Zygmonski explains the organizational structure they use to handle every annual challenge, whether is planting 31,000 tulips bulbs and another 5,000 spring bulbs, replacing them with annuals, or watering all the plants and flowers multiple times a week. Their army of volunteers has transformed Lewes into an internationally, award-winning site of beauty. No one in the organization is paid and they buy, plant, and preserve every flower and plant they use. Lewes in Bloom is a triumphant story of the power of volunteerism and the even more powerful magic of flowers.…

He worked for 25 years at the Central Intelligence Agency’s National Clandestine Service. At the time of his retirement he was a member of the CIA’s Senior Intelligence Service. Jim describes the rigorous training he was provided, the skills of observation and insight he developed, and the challenges a field officer must navigate to survive. He shows how all of these would play such an important role in the next of chapter of his life, helping research, educate and explain Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon - what we used to call UFO’s. And in doing so, he provides an answer to that most mysterious of all questions - are we humans really alone?…
