In 1995 I had a TV Show on Cable Access called "Small Town Stories."  I was the Director and Host.  My friend Loralee Dierks was the videographer and editor.  We would visit small towns and chat with folks about their memories of growing up there.  Unfortunately, Loralee passed away the next year from complications of ALS.  I'm dedicating this episode to her memory.

We will hear from six people who will share their Small Town Stories with us.  Irene from Puerto Rico, Jane from New Jersey, Cal from Connecticut, Wes from North Carolina, Emma from the U.K, and Yev (Jane) from Russia and Finland.
