Elkhart County Historical Museum Curator of Education Patrick McGuire explores the life of Elkhart native Violet Schmidt Weitzman. Weitzman was nationally famous as a child for waving at the Twentieth Century Limited train as it passed by her backyard. Her second round of national attention came for being a Rockford Peach, the team featured in the movie "A League of Their Own." She even was an extra in the movie. Listen as Patrick tells her story, which can also be found at the Elkhart County Historical Museum.
