S3 Ep07 Our Dads, An Enduring Legacy of Friendship


Listen Later

In this episode, our host, James Gardner  will be joined by his lifelong friend, John Sellar. Together, they will be sharing memories of their fathers Alistair Sellar and Jack Gardner. 

Al and Jack met in 1925 when they were in second grade in Bloomfield, New Jersey. They had a rare friendship that lasted their entire lives. 

Both men’s lives exemplified the strength, courage and determination of the “greatest generation”. 

John and James will tell stories of how their dads’ friendship continued throughout the years and eventually grew to include their wives and children.  On this Father’s Day, they have the honor of telling about a friendship between their two families that began almost a century ago and continues to this day.
