Stories and More Stories

Opening week in LA brought clear blue skies and a steady stream of visitors to the StoryCorps booth. Above, 89-year-old Dewey Ajioka stopped by to say Hi and figure out “what this whole story-telling business is all about.” We’ve been amazed by the range of stories we’ve heard this first week. Here’s just a sampling: a “91-and-a-half” year old lady spoke with her son about “Senior Power”, a young Mexican-American woman and her mother recalled the harrowing journey they took across the Mexico/US border, a newlywed couple described meeting at a swing dance class, and a 95-year-old gent named Herman shared his life motto with us: “Never stop talking… I certainly haven’t!”
