Stories with Amos

It's the sixteenth and final episode of Stories with Amos. Amos will give a final review on his early life and provide a flyover glimpse on all the places he'd lived during his time on this earth as he closes the series. For this final episode, we'd like to extend a special thanks to all who made this series a reality: the friends and family that encouraged us to get this project off the ground; Holly, for having the wisdom and humility at a young age to take the time to listen to stories from her grandfather and record them for later listening; Ian, for the time investment to produce the series; and of course, the late Amos Campbell, for the wonderful memories and stories from those many years past. Thank you for listening!

The entrepreneurial side of Amos shines through in this fifteenth episode as he describes his original intention of expanding his popcorn business with a production center, his later-year experiments with more sweets and goodies (like chocolate-dipped fortune cookies), and spreading his gospel of taffy to a wider audience.

Amos will provide more detail in this episode about his involvement with the Ohio Drycleaners Association, as well as explain things he learned through the organization. He also will share his philosophy on bettering yourself--being the kind of friend you would want to have--and will explain a few details surrounding his move to Columbiana.

Amos tells Holly about his "encounter with an angel" in this thirteenth episode, and also recounts some other stories from his past, like accidentally setting a camping tent on fire and participating in flea markets. He'll also share his philosophy about accidents and learning from mistakes.

Amos will discuss more stories from his youth in this episode, re-telling the story of him going into a coal mine as a child without any adults being aware. He'll also share more details about growing up in a large family in the countryside, and recount tales about what it was like to grow up in an era of World War.
