Description

Robert Norris – Bob – comes from pretty strong genetic stock – large extended family who’s Depression-era experiences are reminiscent of “The Grapes of Wrath”.  His mother was a force before women had many rights at all: proving herself as an athlete, standing her ground as a divorced woman, getting a pilot’s license, playing the organ, confronting military leadership when she felt her son was wronged, and becoming a traveler in later life. So perhaps no surprise that Bob stood his ground as a conscientious objector, traveled in the company of other bohemians, and embraced a life in a country with very little in common with America.


In this episode he talks about


  • Maintaining oral traditions in our digital time

  • The amazing woman who was his mom

  • “Pentimento” memories

  • Simpler times when little things were big deals

  • Being a conscientious objector

  • His travels with “European hippies”

  • Finding a place in Japan


We end the episode exchanging stories about exchange students.
