"Sometimes," my mother went on, "I think of white dresses as a way of starting over. They're sort of a way of wiping the whole slate clean. Just like what happens in the wintertime when the snow comes. It wipes away everything in preparation for a new year, a new spring." --Mary Pflum Peterson (author of White Dresses: A Memoir of Love and Secrets, Mothers and Daughters) Today I'm talking with Beaver Dam, WI native Mary Pflum!

Murrows HARVEST OF SHAME is among the most famous television documentaries of all time. This long-acclaimed 1960 expos on the plight of migrant farm workers portrayed with brutally honest depictions the working conditions, the living conditions that, as Murrow remarks, "wrong the dignity of man. Now by a 6-3 vote along ideological lines, the Supreme Court has wrought its own harvest of shame as it gutted a California regulation enacted nearly 50 years ago after a campaign by famed union organizer Cesar Chavez. The court said that the law unconstitutionally appropriated private land by allowing union organizers to go on to farm property to drum up union support. The implications of this decision for farmworkers and all labor to unionize is a Harvest of Shame!

The shy boy from a family twelve was inspired to pursue broadcasting after being interviewed for a story in high school. After attending various universities, including the broadcasting specialization program at UCLA, Gary started a career that took him and his new bride from local cable news in Los Angeles, to a main anchor/reporter position at KTEN in Texas, to weekend anchor/reporter at KRNV in Reno, Nevada, to twenty years at KWQC in Davenport, Iowa. Plans to stay at KWQC for a 3-year contract turned into a life living in this community they grew to love. Bigger markets called—but the Quad Cities was now home for his thriving family. Highlights include coverage of the Oklahoma City Bombing, where he led his news teams on and off-air as the news director and main anchor to cover this historical story in the KTEN region. He has conducted political coverage at all three stations, including producing and moderating several award-winning debates. He was invited to the White House for an exclusive with President Barack Obama in 2012 and returned home for an exclusive with opponent Mitt Romney. Gary’s favorite career highlight was being able to thank his now 87-year-old mom when receiving an Emmy. She was watching remotely with a glass of wine to celebrate the moment together. His passion has remained sharing everyday stories with everyday people –earning him multiple Mid- America Emmys, Edward R. Murrows and dozens of first-place awards from the Associated Press and IBNA. Gary also earned a master’s degree in writing for children and young adults. Gary left television news in July of 2018 to start his own production company Metivier Media. Part of his new venture continues to focus on sharing stories of inspiring people through his new YouTube and Podcast platforms—“The Heart of the Story with Gary Metivier.” Gary’s wife Pam has been a nurse for nearly 30 years and has been one of his biggest supporters and critics. They two sons, Josh (23) and Adam (18). Both sons are studying in the medical field. (They also have two Golden Retrievers, Max, and Finn, who have no career plans of their own.)
