Welcome to a brand new episode of Journey of the Rhode Runner. This is a very special episode. Some of you may or may not know that my father, Paul Stroessner, passed away suddenly on June 3, 2021. It has been a very difficult few months. Not only did he and I share a name, but we also shared a birthday. In honor of our birthday, my mother and I recorded this episode, reflecting on my father’s great life. Despite the great loss and sorry, there are plenty of funny stories, so please enjoy!
