Mary Slone lives in Doty Creek, Kentucky, in the eastern portion of the state, and is a veteran educator at Floyd Central High School who loves and lives the power of storytelling. In 2021, Mary received a “High School Teacher Achievement Award” from the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Our discussion covers, among other things:
*the power of story exchange and the program of Narrative4
*how a slice of pizza formed the bridge between eastern Kentucky and Bronx students
*the Slone family’s “Squirrel Festival”
*Mary’s inestimable Mamaw, Normy Lou Turner
*so many vivid phrases like “wears me slap out”, “all that and a bag of chips”, “they don’t care if it snows oats” and “this side of glory”
*and the correct pronunciation of “Appalachia” is finally settled for this long-ignorant New Yorker
Mary finds hope in her Christian faith...in knowing people are always more than their worst and and not as good as their best...in the many people trying to reach out and build connections in our world...in a good book...in a good book...in our ability to choose to “err on the side of beauty”.
