EXTRA **** "Patches" by Sam Payne

On today's full episode of The Apple Seed (available right next to this Apple Seed Extra, whether you're looking at byuradio.org/appleseed, or wherever you get your podcasts), we heard a couple of cat stories, including a terrific piece called "Catechism Class" (get it? CAT-echism?) by Dolores Hydock. Hearing those cat stories put us in mind of Sam's old cat, Patches, and on today's Apple Seed Extra, you'll hear an entry about Patches, borrowed from the Radio Family Journal -- a feature that figures into many an Apple Seed episode, in which we take ourselves up on our own invitation to let the stories we bring to the show spark memories for us that we can share with the people we love.
