Some stories hide in plain sight until someone hands you the key. This week we meet Robert Skead, a Wyckoff neighbor and Sons of the American Revolution member who turned a lifelong love of the Revolution into an adventure series co-authored with his father. There's even a real spy code for you to crack. We also sit down with advisor Carolina Giraldo on why waiting on life insurance costs more than you think, tour The Blind Spot's three-generation family business, and roll out the library's dinosaur summer reading challenge. Plus nine beach reads and a red, white, and blue shortcake. Enjoy.
