Admittedly, the WOUB News team was (clearly) excited to talk with Mrs. Deborah McDavis, Ohio University’s first official First Lady, but when you listen to this interview you might understand why.

Mrs. McDavis shares a number of stories she hasn’t shared in public including, her true passion, her plans now, (after more than 40 years!), that she and Dr. McDavis will live apart, how their first child taught her how to live with death, and the bond she shares with so many others as they deal with the disruption of drug addiction.

She even includes some tried and tested relationship advice that, she admits, might make some folks angry. We hope you enjoy the conversation.
