My Last Show On KTSA

January 10, my good friend Bill Johnson joined me for a retrospective of the last six months of my KTSA broadcasts, Achieving the Extra-Ordinary.


I am in the process of negotiating a new time slot on Sunday mornings on WOAI AM 1200, and hope to be able to go back on-air within a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this review of the many fascinating and inspiring people I have interviewed. Use the audio toolbar below to hear this show.

My Interview with Judge Edward Butler about the Sons of the American Revolution

This past Sunday, retired judge Edward F. Butler, Sr., the current President General of the organization, Sons of the American Revolution, was my guest on my weekly radio broadcast. We talked specifically about the group's programs for youth. SAR provides a number of scholarships and awards for teachers and young people, with a goal of encouraging the young people of today to be inspired by the stories and values of our country's Founding Fathers. You can hear the interview by using the audio toolbar below.

My Guest Last Sunday was Jennifer Drum

Jennifer Drum is actually a neighbor. But, she has such a fascinating story of overcoming physical adversity, that I wanted to give her a chance to share that with my listeners. She has worked (and prayed) her way through Cerebral Palsy, seizures, and two brain surgeries. She is one of the most inspiring people I know.
