"Strategizing about being the biggest movie star in the world — that is all completely over. I realized that in order to enjoy my time here and in order to be helpful, it’s much more about self-examination. I want to take roles where I get to look at myself, where I get to look at my family, I get to look at ideas that are important to me." - Will Smith
Has Will figured it all out? That is the question of the day.
In the finale installment of this series (and podcast), we once again hear from my dad John Doble. He talks about being removed from yet another foster home but this time he gets put in juvenile hall and an orphanage. Oh, and he races in a soap box derby and drives a car.
In the third part of this four part series John (my dad) talks about being separated from his family and put into foster care in Los Angeles at the end of World War II. He also talks about a bike.
Sorry for the delay, but here is the second in a four part series about my dad John Doble. JHD was a master story teller (or at least I thought so) and using recordings that I and my stepmother did, I am attempting to put a picture together of who he was and how he got that way. In this episode he talks more about his time in Aransas as well as how he and his five siblings became wards of the state.
I interviewed my dad, John Doble over the course of several months back in 2008. I wanted to record the stories that he told us (his kids) about his life so that if he was not around to tell my kids or his other grandkids that they would have the opportunity to hear them from him. He died in April of 2020 so these stories will have to suffice. This podcast is about how people got the way they did and I realized that these recordings was my first effort to actually tell someone's story. These John Doble podcasts are dedicated to his grandchildren. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
