StoryCorps in KC: Nila Cleaves and Jannise Stallard

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, we'll bring you a story recorded at the MobileBooth in Kansas City. Jannise Stallard brought her cousin Nila Cleaves. Here, Nila talks about her earliest memory: the day she met her father when he returned home from World War II.
