It's a Wonderful Life: The Real Bedford Falls

Ted Koppel takes us to the town that may have inspired the setting of that wonderful movie.

I think it not so much as a Christmas movie as an inspirational one. Your Head Trucker saw this movie in the student union theater during my first term at a big university, nearly half a century ago. Mine was not the typical college experience:  I was broke, friendless, and terribly homesick for a place I could never return to. But the quiet inspiration of Frank Capra's magnum opus gave me comfort and lit the way ahead; it was the grace of God that I needed in that lonely time. I am still grateful for that.

When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on tight.  When you come to the tunnel of despair, go through it - and at the other end, you will find Hope.  Keep on; do what you can.  

Your life matters more than you know.
