unforgettable as an inspring view of the best in human nature, but also because the story splashes over into what we could do with our own lives..

Review of StoryCorps: Dr. John and Caroline Bancroft

Lovely little story - emotion on the part of the doctor father telling this story as naked as the teary response from the interviewer daughter. As someone who more than once has wept with the subject and then had a crisis of "cut it out/leave it in" in the editing stage - I think the right decision was made here.
If you're looking at tiny personal stories/memories of a working life/ family themed slots, this is for you.
