Connections: Harmonica Pete DuPre

One of the most remarkable storytellers in Rochester is 93-year-old Pete DuPre. He was an army medic during World War II, and for 80 years, he's played the harmonica. Soon he'll play his harmonica at the State of the County address, and he's taken his talents to Nashville's recording studios.

Pete tells us his stories, which include plenty of laughs, but also the pain of seeing what war can do to man.
