Today we speak with Dean Butler, who has written the book PRAIRIE MAN: My Little House Life & Beyond. Dean is an actor, producer, and director best known for his role as Almanzo Wilder in Little House on the Prairie, based on the beloved Little House book series written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. He was a producer for NBC Golf's Emmy-nominated series Feherty for over ten seasons. An iconic and heartwarming television show, Little House on the Prairie—and its cast—remains beloved by millions. Dean Butler considers the role Almanzo to be one of the greatest gifts of his life, and now, he's ready to tell the story of his Prairie. Cast at twenty-two years old, Butler had no idea of the lasting impact being cast in Little House on the Prairie would have on him. Having previously starred in Judy Blume's Forever with Stephanie Zimbalist, Butler was fresh- faced and naïve to Hollywood, eager to make his mark. He found his home in the Prairie and embraced his fellow cast members as family. Butler's passion for honest-to-goodness entertainment began in the Prairie and followed him throughout his rich career of acting, producing, and directing. PRAIRIE MAN: My Little House Life & Beyond shares the behind-the-scenes of Little House on the Prairie on a heartfelt journey of “good luck, good television, and the very good— if gloriously imperfect—people who made it so.” Cast as Almanzo, Laura Ingalls' starring love interest, Butler captured the enduring affection of fans and co-stars alike. With a foreword from Melissa Gilbert (Laura) and Alison Arngrim (Nellie), this uplifting memoir follows Butler's journey from childhood to the Prairie and beyond. The book will be released on June 24, 2024 and available for pre-order now, though, Dean enthusiastically encourages readers to purchase it from their local book store. www.deanbutler.com @officialdeanbutler https://littlehouseontheprairie.com/prairie-man-my-little-house-life-and-beyond/

Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one!Laura was a young pioneer girl in the late 1800s. She was born on February 7, 1867 and was the second child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ingalls. Life was very hard for the Ingalls family. Winters were especially harsh, and the Ingalls family had many sad times. But in spite of the hardships, Laura's family was very close, and they loved each other very much. When Laura grew up, she became a school teacher, and life began to be a little easier for her. Later, she moved to Missouri and went to work as a journalist for a newspaper in St. Louis. She also got married to a man named Almanzo Wilder, and she became Laura Ingalls Wilder. Laura had always loved writing, and soon she decided to write a book. It was called little House in the Big Woods followed by several more “Little House” books. They were all about her own family when she was a child. But she didn't just write about how hard life was. She wrote mostly about happy moments like taking a buggy ride into town, swimming in the creek, and listening to her father play his fiddle late at night. Even though she lived a long time ago, Laura Ingalls Wilder still brings joy into the hearts of everyone who reads her books, or watches the television show called “Little House on the Prairie” which is based on her books. Yes, Laura Ingalls Wilder, the little pioneer girl, grew up to become a HERO. That's what I know about the beginning of This Hero, and I know that YOU Can Be a Hero TOO! Dear Parents, After years of development, trial, and revision, we are so excited to now share with you the most effective version yet of our Proactive Bully Prevention Program that has proven to "change the culture" at hundreds of campuses across America in profound ways. Research has shown the TCN Method™ to be the single most effective school based Violence and Bully Prevention Intervention of its entire genre. We have hundreds of testimonials from educators describing the results they have gotten, and you can view many of these at http://www.thecharacternetwork.org/Testimonials (www.TheCharacterNetwork.org/Testimonials) This program, The Beginning of a Famous Hero™ is used in conjunction with a companion program called Bully Alert!™ in schools played over the intercom during morning announcements twice or more each school week, and backed up by a common culture which reinforces the principles taught, at every turn, and incorporates the phrases of the academic language during any teachable moment. These two sets of stories work together to convey a common academic language which says, “A bully is a person who hurts others on purpose (even if it's just hurting their feelings) but a HERO is a person who HELPS others. So CHOOSE to be a HERO by HELPING instead of a bully by hurting.” They also promote the concept of POSITIVE PERSONAL VISION, helping each student to realistically visualize his or her own "Future Self," and in doing so help...

Segment A: Songs of Virginia Virginia has a rich and intricate history, marked with tales of triumph and tragedy, conflict and compromise. Music and song have long been a means for sharing these stories with younger generations, and today on HearSay Cathy Lewis will include our listeners in this rich oral tradition. You'll hear the rousing sounds of fife and drums and haunting ballads as Virginia historians share the stories and songs that bring our Commonwealth's history to life. Segment B: Pa's Fiddle: Dean Butler In this segment, we'll talk with actor, producer Dean Butler. Butler starred as Almanzo Wilder in the TV series "Little House on the Prairie" and has co-produced the PBS special, "Pa's Fiddle." Laura Ingalls Wilder's father, Charles, would play the fiddle for his family when she was growing up, and that music inspired the narrative for her novels based on her life in Minnesota in the late 1800's. He'll talk about "Little House" and the upcoming music special that features country stars, Randy Travis, Rodney Atkins, Ronnie Milsap, Ashton Shepherd, The Roys, Natalie Grant and Committed (NBC Sing Off Champions), and airs Sunday, June 10th at 8pm on WHRO-TV 15. Dean Butler will also be in the WHRO studios live that night for the program.
