Listen this week for an encore broadcast of Mountain Stage featuring Larkin Poe, Victoria Canal, Raye Zaragoza, Ron Pope, and Christian Lopez. This episode was recorded with our host Kathy Mattea on the campus of West Virginia University, thanks to our friends at WVU College of Creative Arts and Media.
I am pretty much a home body and by Eric Douglas’ world traveling life, I could be called a house slug.
Eric is a renaissance man: writing, photography, many aspects of scuba diving, teaching and he takes on special projects like telling the stories of our vets. Despite the diversity of activities, he is no dilettante. He dives in (Oh, a pun!) with an iron determination to learn and master what interests him.
A writer tells his story through words. Listen to Eric tell his story.
By the way, Eric and I have known one another for a while and sometimes, in my exuberance, I step on (or interrupt) him a little too much. My apologies.
