Emily Winston is the CEO and founder of Boichik Bagels. Born and raised in central New Jersey, she grew up eating a LOT of bagels. When her father had business take him to the Upper West Side, he would stop by Zabar's for lox, sable, whitefish, and chive cream cheese, then H&H for bagels, which her family would have as a special treat.  These bagels were on a whole different level of unique deliciousness.

In 2010 Emily moved to the Bay Area and bemoaned the lack of proper bagels. Emily was so distraught when she heard that her most beloved H&H Bagels on the Upper West Side had been shut down for tax fraud.  And so Emily embarked on what became a five year quest, through trial and error, to create a bagel she longed to eat. 

Five years of experiments later Emily was happy with the results. Friends told her she should sell them! So Emily decided to give it a whirl, got a cottage food license and did pop-ups which were a huge hit. Then took the plunge to brick and mortar, and opened her first store on College Ave in Berkeley in November 2019. Now with locations in Palo Alto, Berkeley and more in the works, Emily had started to create the bagel empire of her dreams.

The Life , Career, and Leadership of Robert Byrd, the longest serving legislator in all of American history. He could give a speech on Dog fighting and quote Aristotle. He worked together with Bob Dole on enormously important pieces of legislation through out the 1980's and while they were often adversaries on issues they were obviously friends and they set the example we should all follow on how to work together for the good of all. 

Robert Byrd was the historian of the Senate, he believed that an institution should always exist where one man could stand and question the executive and Federal policy of the nation until he dropped or asked to speak while sitting down. He believed in America and the Constitution as the document that protected our freedom. An old school democrat, an an old school politician that never forgot where he came from nor who he represented. 

And finally a look at Senator Frank Lautenberg, the last World War 2 veteran to serve in the U.S Senate, with his passing ended an era of bipartisan work by the men who built the American Century. Lautenberg was a man of enormous accomplishment, a self made millionaire, who as a Senator raised the legal drinking age to 21 , ended smoking on airplanes, and was a proponent of mass transit and environmental protection.  

This is part 3 of our look at six of the greatest Senators of the Greatest Generation.
