Over 300 Kentuckians Tell Stories to NPR's StoryCorps

Rania Omar Burke and Lara Omar Swan have long been fans of StoryCorps. So when Burke heard that the national non-profit that records stories across the country was going to be in Lexington, she thought it would be the perfect birthday present for her sister. The two Chicago transplants spent their 40-minute StoryCorps session on Sunday, Father's Day, talking about a very timely subject: Their father. More than 300 people have climbed into the recording booth of the StoryCorps mobile trailer since the project came to Lexington on May 21. Among them was Fr. Ralph Beiting, founder of the Christian Appalachian Project.
