**** BITES -- "The Power of Stories" by Donald Davis

From time to time, we'll post what we call a BITE ("like a normal episode, only shorter!"). We always hope that the stories you listen to on The Apple Seed will spark memories and thoughts that you can share with the ones you love -- perhaps even the people with whom you listen to the show. In a BITE, we'll listen to a single story -- one that we love -- and invite friends to share memories and thoughts that occur to them as they listen to it. On today's BITE, we talk to the reigning Mrs. Ogden, Utah. Her name is Jennifer (same as Jennifer Goldsbery, the assistant producer of the Apple Seed, who competed in the Mrs. Utah pageant with her, and invited her into the studio). Jennifer (our guest, not Jennifer Goldsberry) is also a math teacher, and talks about how she came to that profession after a history of failing math as an elementary school student. The conversation stems from listening to the wonderful story "The Power of Storeies," by Donald Davis. You're sure to enjoy today's BITE!
