Here at NCTV17, one of our missions is to preserve the past through the making of documentaries. In the very first one, we covered the development of Napervilel following World War II in "New Naperville: Urban Development in the Post War Era." The latest, "Community Building on the Great Frontier: The Joseph Naper Story and the Founding of Naperville" focused on.. well, read the reeeeeally long title, and you'll understand.
The next one in the cue is "A Role of Their Own: The Naperville Women's Story" about the important women in Naperville's past. We just shot a reenactment today: Genevieve Towsley, the Naperville Sun reporter and local historian (Her statue sits next in front of Barnes & Noble in downtown Naperville). Playing the role of Towsley: Kandiss Hernandez, a woman of soe many talents, I'll only attempt to list three of them here: Host of Spotlight on Naperville, Creative Director (and founder!) of Kidz Kabaret and costumer extraordinaire! Here is Kandi as Towsley in front of an authentic Royal typewriter--just like the kind that Towsley herself used. And standing over her shoulder is Laura Zinger, the researcher behind "Joseph Naper..." and now coming into a role of her own as producer for "A Role of Their Own: The Naperville Women's Story."
