Episode Synopsis "William Carl Still, Sr: 4th of 7"

I had a ball talking with my Uncle Billy about Donald and Katherine and growing up in their family. As I'm now just expecting, he shared some details that I had not heard before and his perspective on some of the common stories was certainly unique. Mostly, I'm struck by his joy and how he remembers his mom living joyfully and reminding him to always find something to laugh about. Great lessons for us all.There is a Hunter S. Thompson quote that I've always thought so very well described Billy and I believe that even more after spending some time talking about life with him. See if you don't agree:“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”I bet you can smell the smoke by the end of this episode. What a ride, indeed! What a beautiful party.
