Matt Olewski is a former teacher turned Executive Director of the Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary — a role he found by taking a leap of faith and trading the classroom for a groundskeeping job just to get through the doors of one of Kingsville's most beloved institutions. In this episode, Matt sits down to tell the full story of Jack Miner: the market hunter turned conservation pioneer who counted Henry Ford as a close friend and sparked a continent-wide movement to protect migratory birds. If you've ever walked the trails at Kennedy Woods and wondered how it all began, this one's for you.

James Joyce said Dublin could be rebuilt from Ulysses. If Kingsville vanished, Bob Lynch’s stories could rebuild it entirely.

Retired teacher, coach, author of 10 books—Bob took us on an unscripted tour of our town’s hidden history. I threw out my questions and just let him talk.

Even if you’re not a history fan, his passion will hook you. Come rediscover why Kingsville is so special.
