            According the the PBS email newsletter I received, the new Season 2 of "We'll Meet Again" premieres on Nov. 13 at 8/7c, on tv channels and also available for streaming.   

            I didn't see a thread about this new season -- I hope I'm not duplicating.

            I found this to be interesting reading as a follow-up to last season's shows:

 “The Moment We Met Blog --

       Interviews with the participants of We'll Meet Again"

(Please copy and paste the link:

            Here are some descriptions of the show for those who might not be familiar with it:

"...documentary series reported and executive produced by Ann Curry.   Each episode introduces us to two people who were affected by momentous events in American history.   We follow them on a journey of detection as they look for a long-lost friend, family member or significant stranger...

"...the series features personal stories of ordinary men and women who lived through extraordinary moments in history, ..."

"...featuring dramatic reunions of people whose lives crossed at pivotal moments.   View history through their eyes and hear stories of heroism, hope and the forging of unbreakable bonds..."

            You're welcome, @dawg lover!   I enjoyed it, too, and I learned so much from each episode.   

            I also shed more than a few tears.   I look forward to seeing the new shows.

            I agree, @riley1.   I think this is a good "fit" for her.   I hope the show continues to be well-received.

I wasn't aware of this show...It sounds wonderful, so I just went to On Demand and will be recording Season 2....I wanted to check out Season 1, but I would have to buy each episode in order to view, so I will just wait until the new Season.

Thanks so much @dooBdoo for the heads up!
