When a Childhood Memory Meets Today's Headlines

from Word on the Street Hosted by DJTen

A recent tragedy in Stark County sparked memories I've carried for more than sixty years. In this deeply personal edition of Word on the Street, I reflect on the accidental shooting of a childhood classmate, the life-changing decision my mother made while battling cancer, and the lesson I've never forgotten about freedom, responsibility, and safe firearm storage. Blending personal experience with current events, this episode explores why every statistic represents a real person, a real family, and a real community. Because behind every headline is a story—and behind every story is an opportunity to make a difference.
