- “She Taught Me About Determination, Perseverance and Unconditional Love” with Guest Author and Retired Professor Emeritus, Robert W. Norris 31:00
Kaye and her family traveled from to the Pacific Northwest and eventually settled in White Salmon, WA. In order for them to have food on the table and a roof over their head, they had to work hard. With all those mouths to feed and though at times there wasn’t much to go around, they felt blessed because they had each other.
Nothing could get in Kay’s way. Nothing stopped her from doing what she wanted to do or what ever she had to do. That said, the had to back up her decisions with a supporting argument. She thought things out very carefully and weighed her pros and cons, and then set her mind to it.
She loved her son and was never afraid to show it. Bob shares many wonderful stories that exemplify his mother’s love. And “she got knocked down a number of times in life, but she always got back up,” according to Bob. Kay was married twice, was excommunicated from the Catholic church after her divorce, got her pilots license while being the only woman in class and became a legal secretary in her 50’s.
Bob refers to his mom as “a trailblazer.”
There are many more wonderful stories of Kay, that Bob shares with me, on this episode of SHLTMM. More information below regarding Bob Norris.

“Should Have Listened To My Mother” is an ongoing conversation about mothers and the roles they play in our lives. And my guests answer the question, ‘are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother’? You’ll be amazed at what the responses are.
“Should Have Listened To My Mother” would not be possible without the generosity, sincerity and insight from my guests. In getting ready to launch my podcast, so many were willing to give their time and share their personal relationships with their mother.
Some of my guests include Baritone Singer Christopheren Nomura, Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Tim Wacker, Activist Kim Miller, Freighter Sea Captain Terry Viscount, Film Production Manager Peg Robinson, Professor of Writing Montclair State University Dr. Bridget Brown, Tammy Steckler, attorney and family advocate @CUNY Law; NYC First Responder/NYC Firefighter Mark Heingartner, Child and Adult Special Needs Activist, Maryellen Valyo Cole and Roger Evens, Property Manager in New Jersey and so many more talented and insightful women and men.
I’ve worked in the broadcasting industry for over four decades. I’ve interviewed so many fascinating people including musicians, celebrities, authors, activists, entrepreneurs, politicians and more.
A big thank you goes to Ricky Soto, NYC based Graphic Designer, who created my logo for “Should Have Listened To My Mother”.
