Reverend Gibbs Speaks From the Grave a story told by James Navé. Wav

In the latest episode of Twice 5 Miles Radio, I go solo with a Moth-style life story I crafted while recording this show titled "From the Grave With Reverand Gibbs." My story starts in New York at a friend's apartment in StuyTown, 1st Avenue & 16th Street. The story then travels to 1970, when I served two years as a Conscientious Objector (CO) instead of fighting in VietNam at Wesley Nursing Center in Charlotte, NC. One of my patients, Reverend Gibbs, long dead, emerges as the mentor with an ordinary piece of advice. In this story, I explain why I applied for my CO status after a hitchhiking trip to Denver to meet my friend John van Hasselt, who drove his VW bus up from Mexico. Then, I touch on my first trip to Paris in 1972 and why I returned from Paris last week, 2023. So, how does all this tie together, and why does Reverend Gibbs speak from the grave? Tune in and find out. Enjoy the show.
