Dear Elizabeth: Episode 2 — Rainbow Weather

This four-episode scripted series explores the lives and impact of groundbreaking scientists and sisters Drs. E. Lucy and Annette Braun. Their stories are illuminated via letters they wrote back to one of their scientific proteges during their final research trip to the West in 1963. The  pioneering sisters were 75 and 79, respectively. 

 

Their letters to Elizabeth Brockschager, whose collection at the Lloyd Library & Museum inspired this series, encompass the personal and the scientific. Their excitement over their journey provides a glimpse into both their personalities and their perseverance.

 

Episode 2 includes letters from both Lucy and Annette as they navigate a changing landscape in the Rocky Mountains—including new roads and new crowds.
