Dive into a remarkable journey through time on the latest episode of "The Ordinary Extraordinary Cemetery" podcast with Jennie and Dianne. This Thanksgiving, we're especially thankful for the wit and humor of Will Rogers. Join us as we celebrate the laughter-filled legacy of this iconic figure, along with the high-flying adventures of Wiley Post. In a tragic turn of fate, they bid farewell to life on earth in the same airplane accident in 1935 and were both laid to rest in Oklahoma. Listen along as we pay tribute to these two Ordinary Extraordinary men who left an indelible mark on history. As Will Rogers once said, "You must judge a man’s greatness by how much he will be missed."
