Kansas City, MO – The day after Thanksgiving, Americans will be encouraged to sit down to record a conversation with a loved one. It's part of a project by NPR's StoryCorps called National Day of Listening. KCUR is playing stories recorded 3 years ago when StoryCorps visited Kansas City.
Laurie Avery asked her then 21-year-old daughter, Elizabeth Avery, about a time they hadn't talked much about. After high school, Elizabeth spent two years traveling the United States hitchhiking and hopping freight trains.
