What this episode covers

We had planned for our original discussion to be about continuing to stay involved and active in retirement. My guest, Tony McDade had been a Baptist minister and an administrator of a non-profit that serves the homeless community. This interview occurred in the week following the death of George Floyd and all the protests and violence that followed. Our conversation started with how the current situation is affecting all of us, and how can we still try to make a difference. We talked about community, caring, responsibility and being involved in the changes we want to see.
