Eva-Lifetime of Friendship, and Love

Wisdom Well

When we listen to the voices of those who've lived through eras unlike our own, we uncover a tapestry of history woven with personal triumphs and societal challenges. Our latest episode features a heartwarming conversation with a nonagenarian who brings the past to life, recounting the trials and joys of growing up in Delta, Utah during the 1930s and 1940s. You'll be moved by tales of fierce cold, bus rides to school, and the poignant interplay between childhood innocence and the weight of historical events like the Japanese internment.
Navigating the landscape of post-war America, our guest recounts a family's resilience as they transform military barracks into a home amid community resistance and legal skirmishes. The narrative captures the essence of human kindness, revealing how lifelong friendships can blossom from the seeds of initial misjudgment. It's a testament to the power of forgiveness and faith, as our guest shares how these values have provided solace throughout their life.
Lastly, we're invited on a melodic journey that traces our guest's lifelong relationship with the organ, an instrument that offered both challenge and comfort. The story of Brother Mitch, a mentor whose legacy resonates through the community, underscores the episode. Join us for an exploration of family, community, and the intergenerational echoes of music and faith that shape a life well-lived—and may just inspire your own.
