Sarah describes her experience as a Syracuse University Remembrance Scholar visiting Lockerbie, Scotland where, 30 years ago, 35 Syracuse University students and 11 residents were killed in the bombing of Pan Am flight 103.

Episode Notes

2: Sarah Crawford on Lessons from Better People

In this episode, Sarah Crawford joins us on the front porch. Sarah is our beloved niece and author of Lessons from Better People. We hope you will enjoy hearing about the depth of Sarah's experience as a Syracuse Remembrance Scholar and her visit to Lockerbie, Scotland. Yes, we get a little teary-eyed about the tragedy of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, but there is so much hope in this story through the humanity of the people of Lockerbie. And, we do have some laughs about Sarah's foibles as a PR intern in Brussels and revel in the joy of being aunts to such a wonderful niece.
