A Daughter Remembers BYU Football Coaching Legend LaVell Edwards Guest: Ann Edwards Cannon, Columnist for the Salt Lake Tribune, Author of “I’ll Tell You What. . .” To BYU football fans, the enduring image of the team’s legendary coach is him standing on the sidelines, arms crossed, face so stern he’s almost scowling – even when his team is winning. LaVell’s daughter Ann Edwards Cannon creates an entirely different portrait of "Laughing LaVell" in her new collection of essays called, "I'll Tell You What. . . ." A Single View Guest: Amy Harris, PhD, Professor of History, Brigham Young University, Author of “A Single View: Family Life and the Unmarried in Georgian England”  The marriage rate in America is at its lowest point in at least 150 years, with barely half of adults in the US married today. BYU history professor Amy Harris has delved deeply into the story of eight siblings in a 1700s English family and their striking singleness, despite considerable wealth, charm and success in life. The Single Sharps of Georgian England shed new light on the history of singlehood, marriage and sibling bonds.
