Columbia, SC – Continuing its documentary series on Lancaster County’s history, the second episode of Lancaster “Our Stories” airs this Tuesday, March 5 at 8:00 PM.

Episode 2, titled “The Strategists”, features longtime friends Charlie Bundy and C.D. “Bubber” Gregory sharing stories about growing Lancaster during the economic boom following WW2.

Bundy and Gregory founded The Lancaster Chamber of Commerce and USC-Lancaster when they were only in their 20s in the 1950s.

The two share memories about how they almost never became friends, what it was like to do business with Col. Springs and their strategy for turning a village into a thriving town.

“Viewers will have a new perspective on their hometown as they watch these two men talk about launching a chamber of commerce from the ground up at such a young age,”  said Lancaster native and Columbia photographer Travis Bell, who directed the series.

Episode 2 will be available to view on Tuesday at www.lancasterarchive.com and www.facebook.com/groups/lancasterarchive
