Listen "Dad On Record"
Episode Synopsis
After Pat Maloney passed away, it was a year before his widow, Joanne Pickett, was ready to venture into the attic where Pat stored his stuff. And that’s when she found the tapes. Dozens and dozens of tapes, all part of the life Pat had hidden away for nearly 30 years. PLUS, In 1970, the first two Tibetan refugees arrived in Canada. Tsering Wangkhang was one of them. His son, Rignam Wangkhang, was 10 when Tsering died in 2000, and doesn't have many memories of his dad. But he does have his father's unfinished memoir, documenting Tsering's harrowing escape from Tibet, fleeing on foot through the Himalayan mountains to freedom. Now, Rignam shares his father's story.
