Episode 49: Tribute to Paul Stroessner

Welcome to a brand new episode of Journey of the Rhode Runner.
This is a very special episode. Some of you may or may not know
that my father, Paul Stroessner, passed away suddenly on June 3,
2021. It has been a very difficult few months. Not only did he
and I share a name, but we also shared a birthday. In honor of
our birthday, my mother and I recorded this episode, reflecting
on my father's great life. Despite the great loss and sorry,
there are plenty of funny stories, so please enjoy!
