   Go Johnnies-EP#25

   In this episode of the podcast my daughter Ashley Stratton, a senior at Saint John's University, interviews her grandfather, The Yankee Air Pirate as part of her senior project. The purpose of the project was to learn about American society and culture from the period they have been studying in class from someone that experienced those events first hand while learning from their perspective and enriching their own understanding of it. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. ~George Santayana The Yankee Air Pirate is on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheYankeeAirPirate/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_yankee_air_pirate/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCHad2axKaHYN5dmB0g65TqQ
