Being from the south, lots of people in my area can sure be stuck in their ways for sure. I was born and raised in a very racist area. Though my family rarely discussed a person’s color. We just viewed them as another person.. I like the way that both parties discussed revealing the truth and trying to imagine what it’s like to live amongst those people as it were happening.. I really enjoyed the podcast and I have bought and read both campfire stories. I wish there was five more of them. I am trying to encourage a friend of mine to share his falling out of a tree stand story, but I’m not for sure he wants to do it yet. God bless y’all.

Awesome
