Along the way, we all meet people that truly change our lives. Allison Wetherbee is someone that has done that for me. So, I’m sharing this podcast from the Camp ASCCA site with you here, too.

The photo is of Allison in 1986 and clicking on it will take you to a larger photo of her with Paige and Katie, the two interns that worked with her that summer.

Allison began coming to ASCCA in the late 1970′s and later worked with me at camp doing public relations. She was only a teenager then, but so incredibly intelligent and her personality so engaging. This is one person that I believe everyone should meet.

Allison never let having a disability stand in the way of her dreams. Trite, you may say, but never more true than in her life’s story. She went on from camp to attend university and gain two degrees. Today, Allison is a mental health counselor in Russellville, Alabama. She has her own home, lives independently – with attendant/roommate assistance, and is still changing people’s lives for the better.

Admittedly, the podcast is more like two friends chatting than an interview. But, that’s because I love Allison and she can make me chuckle.

The podcast runs 21:46 and is a 19mb download. I hope you’ll listen and enjoy Allison as much as I do.
