Kelly Mielke returns to Walnut GroveCast to discuss this epic Little House on the Prairie movie!  We discuss the common misconception that Albert died of leukemia and how odd it is that so many people misremember the same exact thing!  Is it an example of the very strange, Mandala Effect?  Who knows?!  Also, what’s the deal with climbing that mountain at the end?
