Peter the Wolf
Judd Esty-Kendall's father was an animal lover who filled their house with raccoons, hawks, and critters of every size. At times it was more like a zoo than a home. But there was one creature Judd's father treasured above the rest: A gray wolf.

EXTRA: The Men of Montford Point
In 1942, the U.S. allowed Black men to enlist in the Marine Corps for the first time. It was during World War II, and resulted in more than 19,000 Black recruits being sent to Montford Point, North Carolina for basic training. Many of those men are no longer with us, but their voices can be heard in the StoryCorps archive.
These stories are part of our Military Voices Initiative.

One Who is Understanding
This story is so beautiful! I listened to it twice & shared it with family & friends.
I am a good friend of Atiba. He & I were part of a Kwanzaa Name Changing ceremony, where he announced his name, Atiba Mbiwan. I was unaware of how he came to choose his name.
The one thing that I feel must be corrected is the fact that Atiba’s son not only has a daughter but he also has a son with the last name Mbiwan. We all know that the daughters don’t usually carry on the surname; it’s the sons. Therefore, by leaving out the grandson it appears that the name will die with the granddaughter when in fact it can survive with the grandson. My understanding is that you had that information but did not mention it.
Can you provide that addition & explain it to the audience please?
Thank you ! Blessings !

My Appreciation
I have listened to StoryCorps for as long as I can remember. It’s the one thing that touches my soul so deeply. My week is not complete until I hear the chords of the guitar every Friday.
Thank you for having the foresight to create something so timeless…
And beautiful.
Must have!
Love this so much.
