    Stories with Amos - Episode 16 - The Final Episode

    It's the sixteenth and final episode of Stories with Amos. Amos will give a final review on his early life and provide a flyover glimpse on all the places he'd lived during his time on this earth as he closes the series. For this final episode, we'd like to extend a special thanks to all who made this series a reality: the friends and family that encouraged us to get this project off the ground; Holly, for having the wisdom and humility at a young age to take the time to listen to stories from her grandfather and record them for later listening; Ian, for the time investment to produce the series; and of course, the late Amos Campbell, for the wonderful memories and stories from those many years past. Thank you for listening!
