A Voice for Lenhart: Barb Allisimi on Legacy, Loss, and a 90-Year Calling
Episode Description:What if your life’s purpose was rooted in a story that happened decades before you were born? In this profoundly moving episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Negaunee native Barb Allisimi to trace the threads of one family’s legacy—woven through heartbreak, strength, and spiritual connection.
Barb shares how the tragic loss of her grandfather, Lenhart, in a 1927 Lake Superior drowning shaped generations of silence and sorrow—and how she spent her life uncovering the truth. From Finnish and Italian immigration to newspaper archives, handwritten letters, and a 90-year remembrance event that brought families together from around the globe, Barb’s story reminds us that healing often starts with curiosity—and courage.
