almost wasn t for any of them. doug and bertie, as he liked to call her, were teenaged sweet heart, married young. and as often happens, even as their family grew their marriage shrivelled. what happened? life happens. bertie found god. doug did not. the closer i got to the lord, it s like the further we got apart. until it became clear to bertie she won t go into detail, that she and doug were doomed, unless i did something drastic. i left him without his knowledge. take the kids with you? of course. so you went off on your own with four kids. mm-hm. no job, no nothing. yeah. to a city i didn t know.
when the kids were grown, doug and bertie ended up in spokane to be next to their church whose pastor preached the prosperity gospel, that god rewards belief with success. they wanted to get an older house like that. it s something they love, but they also always wanted all the family to come for all the holidays and stay with them. so there s a bedroom for everybody. we all had our own room. worked out pretty good. did it look to you as if your dad and your mom were finally at the place where they were on the top of the hill? they were doing the best i ever saw them do. they were happy. they had got it. they d figured it out. but now, doug carlile was dead. and detectives tallied up the signs of his earthly wealth. still parked in the drive, elberta s new mercedes. doug s new pickup and inside doug s office, documents detailing the family s fortune.
to seattle. 350 miles in the little town in oregon where they lived back then. her church kept her going. well, doug, here s the story according to bertie. he kept guns, said bertie, lots of them. and lost and alone, he decided to use one on himself. as he crawled toward the guns, he said he heard this horrid voice that said he s mine . and then he heard another voice that said no, he s not. he belongs to me . and he said it was a thunderous, authoritative, shook the whole room voice. and next thing he knew, he felt arms picking him up. and putting him on the bed. he told you this. yes, he told me this months later. quite a story. the one that got doug saved and back with his family. after that, he started an excavation business, and as his kids grew up, six of them. many followed him and became the family business. he s a salesman, you know. he can talk you into something. a charmer. yeah.
doesn t get us now i believe. in the late 19th century almost 90 percent of bertie s population was jewish in 1905 after pogroms and the holocaust only $88.00 members of brody s jewish community remained today there s little left to testify to what was once a jewish cultural center known as the jerusalem of police here. oksana linnet who conducts concerts around the globe grew up just 2 blocks away from the synagogues ruins for her the concert is also a homecoming this is where her roots are where she comes to rest and recharge but she s also got a mission to put the historical region of the least now straddling the ukrainian polish border back on the world cultural map that was one reason she helped found the festival 3 years ago. that s about a one side is delivered from
conductor oksana lino it was determined to have the concert here. these are the ruins of brody s great synagogue destroyed in world war 2 for. today the ruins are surrounded by homes. the whole town of bertie turned out to listen even to the rehearsals. the sis yeah that this is more than a concert. it s more than just music for a listening pleasure or a pleasant way to spend an evening why is it in this is to remind us of who we are where we are. i want this continent to commemorate the many jewish p. . bill he lived in the city until no longer here he didn t survive and for now at
