Interview with Janet Faust (2014)

An interview in two parts (thanks to the delivery guy). I interview my mother about her childhood growing up in a small town in Kentucky. She talks about what it was like to be the youngest of four girls and the daughter of one of the town veterinarians. She talks about the quirks and quaintness of small town life, as well as going on calls with her dad.
