Mother And Daughter On Faith, Family And Learning About Love

KUT 90.5 | By Michael Lee
Published May 28, 2018 at 5:00 AM CDT

The StoryCorps mobile booth was in Austin in January, and we’re bringing you some of the stories that were recorded there. Locally recorded stories will air on Monday mornings during Morning Edition and archived here.

Lucy Kellison visited the StoryCorps mobile booth with her mother, Sally Furgeson. Sally shared some memories of her own mother, Mary Alyene Hardwick Furgeson, who was born in the small town of Calvin, Oklahoma.

This piece was produced for KUT by Michael Lee with interviews recorded at StoryCorps, a national nonprofit with a mission to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs the opportunity to record, share and preserve the stories of our lives. 

Thank you to our sponsors of StoryCorps' visit to Austin: Cap Metro and We Are Blood
