What a gift this was. I think every board member involved in searching for the new Executive Director needs to listen to this. I not only know about Mike Mullins but a portion of history why Hindman Settlement School remains essential to this day. I am reminded of the phrase, "Standing on the shoulders of giants." Corey and Jordan, these podcasts are so informative. Each one gives me a better understanding of the mission. Such a treasure to have the oral history from your guests.
What a wonderful story. It was so nice to hear about where you’re from!
Awesome job Cassie. I know this had to be difficult and hope it brought back good memories, as well.
You did a wonderful job Cassie. Love you
