My Daughter's Audio Memory

On July 4, 1986, Ella and Red were visiting me in Kansas. Because it was their anniversary we celebrated with good friends Lyn and Gary around the dining room table by asking them questions about their life together and their family histories. One of the stories they told was about Frank's love affair with flight. While Ella and Red reminisced, Lyn and I had surreptitiously set up a cassette recorder. The sound is a little scratchy because of that, and now and then you will hear a chair creak, but the amazement, pride, and joy in Frank's accomplishment come through loud and clear. (audio file is about 4 minutes) CJJ
