On this episode of Our American Stories, Richmond radio host Jeff Katz shares a note that his daughter won't ever read, but will surely impact your life for the better. The Craddock family operates or services over 70 gas stations and 16 fast-service restaurants in Mississippi… but Ron Craddock worked his way up from nearly nothing, and he made his sons Ben and David do the same. Kathleen Carlucci and Russ Gehrum of the Thomas Edison Center at Edison, NJ, tell the story of how Edison perfected light.
