Friday, Aug 14, 2009: Promise of the Heart
Welcome to 88.5 WFDD’s presentation of StoryCorps—the personal experiences and reflections of residents from across the Piedmont. These stories were originally recorded in the StoryCorps mobile unit this Spring in downtown Winston-Salem. This week, Starr Johnson describes to her life partner Mary Jamis the special pact she made with her grandmother...the woman she says molded her into a loving adult.
Starr and Mary live in Mocksville. Starr (left) is a chef and Mary (right) is a marketing manager.
Each week on Real People, Real Stories, 88.5 WFDD brings you the thoughts and perspectives of North Carolinians who are staying connected with the community and the world.
