I would like to thank each of the Story Tellers for sharing a piece of their lives with me.
I wanted to be one of the ones to interview my sister for this project, but all the slots were taken.
Thank you again for providing this little window into the lives of some of my "neighbors" here in the Portland Metro Area!
Love & Prayers,
