My wonderful friend, Larry Hatteberg, always brings the most wonderful surprises.
Larry is the big time anchor at KAKE-TV in Wichita, KS (although, you'll never get him to admit to the "big time part") who often sends me wonderful stories. Stories like today's featured video on 81-year-old Eula West.
I dare you to try to watch that story and not smile and feel one of Eula's big hugs.
I've already shared in this blog the very surprising way I know Larry, my fellow inspirational storyteller. A serial killer introduced us. True story. If you haven't heard it, you can check it out here.
This week, Larry was nice enough to send along a fresh batch of "Hatteberg's People" stories. He also sent this email:
Daryn,
Here are three more stories for your web site.
If you like 'em....great! If not....enjoy the extra tape.
Anyway....You're doing a wonderful job on the book tour --- keep it up.
Also, as you may or may not know --- I give about two or three speeches a week on the average in Kansas. (I think it's because I'm cheap)
I was in the small Kansas community of Moundridge speaking to a group of about 200 people. I noticed an Amish couple in the room and they looked familiar --
After the speech I found that I had done a story with them 20 years ago....they came up to say 'hi'. As I was talking to them they said their granddaughter loved to watch my work....but they also said...they didn't have TV.
So I said if you don't have a TV (which the Amish here do not) how did she see my work?
They said: "We have a computer and one of the few (very few) web sites she is allowed to see is darynkagan.com --- and that is where she watches the stories.
Small world isn't it?
The young girl believes you 'walk on water' and loves your web site and everything you do and discuss. I think she is about 10 years old.
You never know where life leads.....
Take care,
Larry
Small world indeed! And a wonderful one, with you and your stories in it, Larry! Thanks for all your stories that touch my heart!
