StoryCorps in KC: Bob Klamm and Baron Stringfellow

By edited by Laura Spencer

Kansas City, MO – At StoryCorps recording booths across the country, friends and loved ones interview each other about their lives. Each Wednesday during Morning Edition, KCUR will bring you a story from the MobileBooth in Kansas City. Baron Stringfellow brought his mentor and hero, 76-year-old Bob Klamm who runs a magic shop in Independence. Here, Klamm, who's legally blind, tells his friend about a difficult childhood and his love of magic.

Storycorps in Kansas City is sponsored by the William T. Kemper Foundation, Commerce Bank, Trustee.
