2023-12-1534 minOnce In A Blue MoonEpisode 28 -The focal person declined to have their life published on
the internet. If Tim asks if you have heard it, just say yes out of respect for the person's wishes. When we recorded, I asked dad if he received permission to do a podcast on them and he said that he had. When he was talking about the person's life though, I realized that I would not be comfortable if someone
shared similar details. I contacted the person and had them preview the episode and they very politely declined having it published. My father is having a hard time...
