It's an almanac in haiku form that follows the drama of seasonal change in the Monadnock foothills. Most of the poems were written during one year of daily five-mile walks through the eastern foothills. NH Outlook's Chip Neal introduces us to Kraichnan, and tries his hand at haiku.

In 1928, Walden and 100 of his new Chinooks joined Admiral Richard Byrd on a South Pole expedition. The original dog named Chinook did not survive the expedition, but the breed Walden created and lovingly nurtured lives on. Arthur Walden is this week's NH Original NH Outlook NH Originals Mon, 3 Jul 2006 08:30:00 EDT NHOutlook@nhptv.org (NH Outlook) 130 at http://www.nhptv.org/outlook/nh_originals/index.asp?seg_id= http://www.nhptv.org/outlook/nh_originals/index.asp?seg_id=141 In this Making it in New Hampshire report, the owner of Eastern Boats takes us on a tour of his facility and shows us how the boats are built as the company prepares for the summer season.

For 20 years, Hale lobbied senators and presidents to declare an annual Thanksgiving observance. In 1863, her efforts paid off, when President Lincoln declared a Thanksgiving Day. Hale was also an author (she wrote the "Mary Had a Little Lamb" nursery rhyme, among other works), and the first woman magazine editor in America. She is a NH Original.

NH Originals will explore the lives of individuals who have had a major impact on the quality of life in New Hampshire, the country and even the world. The series airs Thursdays in February and will be featured periodically on Outlook. In the premiere of NH Originals, host Beth Carroll brings us the story of the McDonald brothers. Richard and Maurice McDonald had dreams of making it big in Hollywood. Instead, the brothers from Manchester opened a restaurant in San Bernardino, California and "McDonalds" was born. The brothers' focus on the technology of creating "fast food" changed the American way of eating.
