May 8, 1884:  Let's talk about Pres Truman.....click to listen.    In 2009, we spoke with Susan Medler and Bill Katz.  Susan is the Director of Communications at the Harry S. Truman Library Institute and Harry S. Truman Library and Museum.  Bill is an author and blogger of Urgent Agenda, one of the most popular political blogs.
