On this episode, we think about some of those people who have traveled with us – sometimes for a good, long way – but who will travel with us no longer, except as they live on in the ways they taught us and the stories we treasure about them.

We celebrate the life of Merle Davis, friend to storytellers everywhere and the wife of celebrated storyteller Donald Davis. We share stories from LDS Church president Thomas S. Monson, and we share just a bit about Sam’s grandfather, World War II veteran Gordon Pappas.
