Airs Monday, November 28, 2011 at 8 p.m. on KPBS TV
Above: At "Antiques Roadshow" in Madison, Wisconsin, this guest brings in a 1976 letter from legendary crooner Frank Sinatra to Chicago Daily News columnist Mike Royko. An enraged Sinatra is responding to the columnist’s unflattering jibes; in turn, Royko printed Sinatra’s letter, then auctioned it for charity. Appraiser Simeon Lipman delights the letter’s owner with his valuation of $15,000.
