COVER STORY: The statue of a mother and child is located outside the International Mother's Day Shrine in West Virginia. We also visit the nearby Anna Jarvis Birthplace Museum to learn how she began a day to honor all mothers more than 100 years ago.

SCENIC AMERICA:  The natural beauty of Norris Lake near Knoxville, Tennessee is prevalent even in the calm waters of early spring. The large man-made lake is a popular vacation destination in the region.


 
 
ON A MUSICAL NOTE: Some of the top bluegrass bands in the country perform at the Southern Ohio Indoor Music Festival each year.  The authentic sound of bluegrass and gospel music is just part of its appeal.
 
 
FAMOUS FACES: Many people do not know that legendary figure Johnny Appleseed was a real person.  We visit a museum that holds the largest collection of Johnny Appleseed memorabilia in the world.
 
 
 
 
TIME CAPSULE: We look back 50 years at the top news and other headlines from 1964 that were presented in newsreel footage.  The range of topics include President Lyndon Johnson's Civil Rights bill, to well-known Hollywood stars and professional athletes.
 
SPRING FEATURE: Spring is an ideal time for planting flowers and trees.  In this edition, we highlight a major volunteer effort to plant thousands of trees in order to preserve the environment.
