I was born in Ohio, and my dad has Eastern Kentucky roots. I guess I'm at that age where my family roots are becoming more important.
A couple stories I did recently made me emotional. One was my dad visiting his three room schoolhouse and talking about his tough life growing up. Here's a clip from "Our Journeys Home" Would he still take the road from this 3 room schoolhouse in the hills of Eastern Kentucky to Ohio, if he had the chance all over again? AND I learn I have a famous cousin!!!
Here's my reaction when I was told...
Journeys Home will air June 6. Watch for it.
And along the same lines and another emotional time for me...
And then I did a long interview with the Ohio Attorney General.
The U.S. is in the midst of a major opioid crisis, an issue Morning Express host Robin Meade has a particularly strong connection to. This morning, Meade, an Ohio native, conducted a whopping 16-minute interview with Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine about the problem that has been inflicting wounds on families across the nation.
Meade revealed to the AG and on-air that her cousin, also an Ohio native, had been prescribed these painkillers for years, and was eventually killed by them. “One day, my cousin took a nap, and never woke up,” she recalled.
