Those were the days at VOA.
Sweet Memories - Johnson Mountain Boys at the Birchmere, Jesse Helms and moonshine, getting a paint job on car before returning to RD, the notebook Mel and I kept on Ken's "sayings", Ken's church bulletin I kept with notes in the margins, Ken's passions: Rebecca.Will and Lucas, our country, bluegrass and horses.
