Marideth Sisco, the host of KSMU's These Ozarks Hills, is in the midst of radiation treatment for cancer.  In this segment, she wanted to share her journey, and what it's teaching her about the friends and loved ones she holds dear.  (Audio from the radio segment can be heard by clicking on the MP3 player above. The text will be posted here at a later date).

Marideth is a Missouri storyteller, veteran journalist, teacher, author, musician and student of folklore focusing on stories relevant to Ozarks culture and history.
