Oops I Missed Church

This conversation was recorded on June 13th, 2024. My wife and I met William and his wife at a garage sale they were hosting just up our street. They were so very kind and invited us to join the neighborhood association meeting. William is a passionate about history and politics and I had a wonderful time getting to know him. He has a book being released later this month and I hope to have him on again to discuss the book in more depth. Enjoy!
