I can’t help but think of my mom and dad right now and what their @StoryCorps conversation would have been. This next chapter for me is personal. Excited and honored.

Cokie Roberts was one of the smartest, kindest, most decent, ethical and generous people walking God's green earth. A journalist and a human being without equal. The heart and soul of NPR. What a sad, sad day.
