For our inaugural Views from the Treehouse podcast we sat down with none other than Ralph White, the legendary James River Park Manager. White retired in 2012 after 32 years in the urban wilderness, risking Kepone exposure, crack needles and drunken riots on Belle Isle, not to mention career suicide, in order to make Richmond a first-class outdoor recreation destination. White is also a master storyteller. In Part 1 of this two-part series, White covers everything from how he’s like Judas Iscariot to meeting hobos in cabooses. This is a conversation you don’t want miss!
