While all eyes have been focused on the quadricentennial celebration of Samuel de Champlain's journey on the lake, another quadricentennial event has been quietly gaining steam, marking Henry Hudson's exploration of present day New York.
VPR's Jane Lindholm talks with Tom Lewis, professor of English at Skidmore College about the quadricentennial of Henry Hudson and his exploration of the Hudson River in 1609.
We explore the growing trend of "kinship families" -- grandparents and other relatives raising grandchildren, nephews, nieces when parents can't meet the task. And we hear about the other quadricentennial: the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's trip up the river to Albany.
