The Weekly Walk Through H-Town

08/01/2024

It has been an incredible ride for the last two years. Susan and I have had a lot of laughs while getting to know more people from H-Town and Harvey County on deeper levels. Currently I'm stepping away from the podcast to pursue something which is very near and dear to me (and my degree) beginning very soon. Thank you to every one who came on the podcast and USW Local 11228 for sponsoring this endeavor. I'll still be around, but most likely, it'll be with a notepad and pen in my hands!

Thanks again, H-Town and Hesston Public Library!
