This episode pays homage to a person I have never met named Mary
Whitehead Jolley (1905-2007). I only know of this woman's life
story by means of a cassette I found in a Salt Lake City thrift
store in the late 1990s. Mary recorded herself telling her life
story in 1988 and somehow the tape ended up for sale. I held on to
this tape hoping I would someday be able to share her story with
others. Take the time to reflect upon her life as well as the
extreme world changes she must have known in her 102 years of life
in this very special episode of Mangled Meditations.
