Story Synopsis:
Rudolph S. Bley was the Vice President of Patents for the
Beaunit Corporation – parent company to both the
Bemberg and North American Rayon plants in Elizabethton.  
Though he was from Germany, he found the love of his life
and a lifetime of community in the Elizabethton area.  

The Bley family was a bright and enlightened boon to the
region throughout much of the 20th century.  By 2011 the
family home was vacated, the land sold to Milligan College
and slated for demolition.  Here we capture the home in the
last days.

The Bley house held wonderful childhood memories for our
host Anne Bishop, who often stayed with the Bley family
growing up in the Milligan community.  Anne takes us on a
tour of the house and grounds with her dear friend,
storyteller Marjerie Shaefer.
