Here is a great interview with a radio station the Hortman family listened to growing up. Their kids tell stories about their parents' favorite artists and songs, how the couple met, etc.

Well, I went to a family reunion/aunt-uncle wedding anniversary in Indiana and the fireworks show was tonight.
