Andrew Thompson and Carolyn Thompson
08/21/23 • 71 min
Ed Robbins has supported my efforts since the very beginning. He suggested that Andrew and his mother, Carolyn, appear together for an interview. I initially interviewed them simultaneously, but, unfortunately, Andrew’s recording got corrupted. I was able to piece together my discussion with Carolyn, and then I interviewed Andrew and incorporated that into this episode. I hope you enjoy our conversation, so come along and have some fun. . .
We all have stories to tell, and they can be heard here. Welcome to Brave and Strong and True , a podcast that engages Summer Stage alumni of all ages. I’m Bob Falkenstein.
