It is safe to say that 2020 is a year few will ever forget.

In this broadcast, Dr. Bacon seeks to honor a few of those graduates by giving them an hour to share a few of their memories of the good, the bad and the lessons learned from Covid and the quarantine. It is a an encouraging broadcast that will lift your spirits and brighten your day.
